The first lesson of being a Bears head coach is that it can always get worse. Never assume you’ve hit rock bottom. If that’s not written in the company handbook, it should be.
The pressure is rising on Ben Johnson just two games into his tenure after a pair of discouraging losses and his recent venting about the Bears’ poor effort against the Lions and subpar practice habits. And next, he’s facing not just the Cowboys on Sunday at Soldier Field, but his predecessor.
Matt Eberflus, whose firing last November started the Bears on a path to hire Johnson, resurfaced as the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator.
