Ben Johnson may have expected it eventually, but he might be back in some familiar territory with D'Andre Swift.
When Ben Johnson was hired as the new head coach of the Chicago Bears, a particular player landed in a unique spotlight. Running back D'Andre Swift and Johnson spent three seasons together with the Detroit Lions, including Johnson's first season as offensive coordinator. The way things went that year, 2022, paved the way for Swift to be traded the following offseason.
The bye week was an opportunity for the Bears to get a lagging ground game going, and in Week 6 against the Washington Commanders, it came to fruition.
