Johnson and the Bears have their backs against the wall in a suddenly contentious NFC North race.
After dropping a huge Week 14 bout to the Green Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears find themselves taking a huge step back in the NFC North. They're now in a direct competition with the Detroit Lions within the division to snag second place, at least, and to snag one last spot in the NFC playoff.
The Lions' schedule is tough, with their next contest coming against the NFC's best - the Los Angeles Rams.
