Bears coach Ben Johnson has dominated the Vikings but can't 'copy and paste' the gameplan

Ben Johnson has scored 30 or more points against Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores every time he’s called plays against him.

“That’d be nice,” Bears tight end Cole Kmet said.

Whether it’s realistic is another question altogether — and one the Bears’ new head coach will answer when he faces the Vikings in their “Monday Night Football” opener.

Johnson and Flores have squared off against each other four times as play-callers — twice in each of the last two years, with the Lions winning every game.

In 2024, the Lions averaged 31 points and 323 yards in two games against Flores.
