Summary
Ben Johnson said a Super Bowl is not enough for Chicago in 2026, setting goals to top the 2013 Broncos' 37.9 points per game and the Patriots' 21-game winning streak.
Those targets follow a breakout first season in which the Bears won the NFC North and a playoff game, with Caleb Williams emerging as the franchise centerpiece.
Johnson framed the record chase as a daily standard for his roster, saying he wants shutouts and blowouts rather than a conventional training-camp goal of simply contending for a title.
The second-year coach also called Chicago the best job he has had and said he is coaching as if it could be his last, underscoring an all-in approach after last season's jump.
