Bears Maintain Focus on One Game at a Time
The Chicago Bears are embracing a steadfast “1-0” philosophy as they prepare to face their storied rivals, the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Ben Johnson has consistently emphasized the importance of focusing solely on the upcoming game, a mantra that has been integral to their recent success. With the team riding a remarkable stretch of nine victories in their last ten games, Johnson’s approach has been clear: the present moment is all that matters.
Coach Johnson on Playoff Aspirations
While the Bears’ attention remains firmly fixed on the task at hand, Johnson has not shied away from acknowledging the broader implications of their performance. Following Monday’s practice, he shared his insights into what it will take for the team to secure a playoff spot.
“The emphasis has always been we’re just looking to win the next game,” Johnson stated. “Just like I told the group this morning. The job is not done. We haven’t accomplished anything yet.”
Rising to the Challenge
This mindset has served the Bears well, positioning them as one of the top contenders in the NFC. After a rocky start to the season, which saw them begin with two losses, the Bears have turned the tide impressively. Their recent victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday, a game where they dominated the field, marked their ninth win in ten outings and solidified their status as the new number one seed in the conference.
As the Bears gear up for their clash with the Packers, the focus remains on execution and maintaining their winning momentum. The message from Johnson is clear: while the playoff picture is beginning to take shape, their immediate goal is still singular—winning the next game.
