PACKERS JUST LOST A STAR 😳🐻 | Bears BULLY BALL Is COMING + Chicago’s BIG 3 Has ARRIVED?!

The Chicago Bears are 3-1, and Ben Johnson may have built something far nastier than just a modern passing offense. Chicago is becoming a team that can physically take the football away from you for entire stretches of a game.

Against the New York Jets, the Bears piled up 492 total yards, 232 rushing yards, 34 first downs, 89 offensive plays and 42:45 of possession while never punting once. Chicago’s 34 first downs were its most in a game since at least 1941, and the 42:45 time of possession was its highest in a non-overtime game since 1994. Then, after New York cut the lead to 23-12, Chicago took possession and burned the final 9:07 off the clock. Pasted text

And this rushing success is not just a one-game fluke.

Through four games, Kyle Monangai has 324 rushing yards and D’Andre Swift has 311, making them the first pair of teammates since 1976 to each top 300 rushing yards through their team’s first four games. Pasted text

But now comes Green Bay.

The Packers just lost one of their most important defenders. Linebacker Edgerrin Cooper suffered a non-contact Achilles injury against Tampa Bay, and Matt LaFleur expects him to miss the remainder of the season. Cooper had already recorded nine tackles, a sack and an interception before leaving the game. Pasted text

That matters because Chicago’s offense constantly forces linebackers to process motion, pullers, split-flow concepts, play action and moving tight ends. Cooper’s range made him particularly suited for those assignments. Now Green Bay is expected to turn to veteran Isaiah McDuffie alongside Zaire Franklin. Pasted text

And if Green Bay decides the answer is simply stacking the box?

Chicago may finally have the counterpunch.

Against New York, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland combined for 16 receptions and 214 yards with Tyson Bagent at quarterback. Rome finished with 94 yards, Burden had 63 and Loveland added 57. Pasted text
