The entire summer, the discussion around D’Andre Swift was not about what he could do in the Ben Johnson offense, but rather about how long it would take for Johnson to bench him.
Johnson and Swift spent time together with the Detroit Lions, and it did not go well. The thought was that this would be the same. While Swift has had his ups and downs through five games this season, the ups have been well worth it, as he was a game-changer who won the Bears the game against the Washington Commanders in Week 6, 25-24.
