The Ben Johnson Effect is real, but it still lacks the validation that matters most in these parts — beating the Packers.
Johnson’s Bears are facing a team that has had their number for most of the last 20 years — and most of the post-Ditka era, for that matter. The Packers always seem to have an answer against the Bears, especially in big games. If it’s not Aaron Rodgers -tormenting them, it’s some unsung hero — Erik Walden, Jarrett Boykin, James Starks or Ty Montgomery. Brett Hundley once beat the Bears when Rodgers was out.
