The Chicago Bears transformed into an offensive juggernaut under first-year head coach Ben Johnson. After a historic playoff win, the team ranks second in explosive plays behind only Buffalo. This marks a dramatic shift for a franchise long defined by offensive struggles.

Johnson, a former Mike Martz disciple, prioritized fixing the offensive line that got Caleb Williams sacked a league-high 68 times as a rookie. In one offseason, GM Ryan Poles traded for guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson and signed center Drew Dalman, completely rebuilding the unit.

The results were immediate. Williams set a franchise passing record while the team shattered franchise yardage marks. Drafting pass-catchers like Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III provided new weapons. Chicago now hosts the Rams in the divisional round, its most promising offensive season in decades.
