The Chicago Bears are off to a rocky start, facing a dismal 0-2 record after squandering a second-half lead against the Vikings in their opener and suffering a humiliating defeat against the Lions in Week 2.

During a fiery press conference Wednesday, new head coach Ben Johnson didn't hold back on his assessment of the team's preparation.

"Our practice habits are yet to reflect a championship-caliber team," Johnson stated, emphasizing the need for serious changes.

What’s Missing in Practice?

Johnson pinpointed specific areas where the team is lacking. He expressed concern over their fundamentals, stating, "We should be going to the football, finishing hard." His focus is on the basics—blocking techniques, catching prowess, and maintaining ball security.

"These are the little things you learn in youth league football, yet they make a monumental difference at this level," he added, underscoring the importance of attention to detail.

Raising the Standard

Though the season is still in its infancy, Johnson's tough-love approach aims to elevate team standards by addressing these issues publicly. The real test will come when the Bears take on the Cowboys this weekend. Will Johnson’s words translate into action on the field?

Football fans will be watching closely to see if the Bears can turn their season around and if Johnson's strategy will indeed pay off.
