BEARS HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM?! 😳 Ben Johnson MUST Fix This vs Packers + Khalil Mack RETURN?!

🚨 The Chicago Bears are 3-1, but there are still major questions Ben Johnson and Ryan Poles have to answer.

On today’s episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize breaks down why Chicago’s red-zone offense has become one of the biggest concerns heading into the matchup with the Green Bay Packers, and why this could be the perfect game to finally get it corrected.

The Bears just produced 492 total yards, 34 first downs, 89 offensive plays and nearly 43 minutes of possession against the New York Jets.

The problem?

Chicago scored only 23 points and finished just 2-for-7 in the red zone.

Over the last three games, the Bears have scored touchdowns on only 4 of 15 red-zone trips, a 26.7% rate.

Now comes Green Bay.

👀 The Packers have allowed touchdowns on 85.7% of opponent red-zone trips, worst in the NFL.

So is this finally the week Ben Johnson gets Chicago’s offense finishing drives?

Haize discusses:

🏈 Why the Bears are moving the football but failing to finish

🔥 Whether Ben Johnson deserves more criticism

👀 How Colston Loveland, Luther Burden and Rome Odunze can help

🐻 What Tyson Bagent may be asked to do near the goal line

🚑 Kyle Monangai, D’Andre Swift and offensive line injury concerns

📊 Why Green Bay’s defensive weaknesses create a huge opportunity

Then the conversation shifts to the NFL trade deadline.

Could Khalil Mack return to Chicago? 👀

The Chargers are struggling, Mack has 3 sacks through four games, and Chicago continues to appear in conversations surrounding defensive trade targets.

But Mack isn’t the only name worth discussing.

Haize also looks at potential fits including:

🔥 Jeffery Simmons

🔥 Zach Sieler

🔥 Tuli Tuipulotu

🔥 Daron Payne

The Bears defense has already been excellent, allowing just 28 total points over the last three games while ranking among the NFL leaders in scoring defense and sack rate.

So should Ryan Poles actually spend draft capital on another defensive star?

Or should Chicago trust Montez Sweat, Dayo Odeyingbo, Austin Booker and the young defense already producing?

Plus, Haize reacts to YOUR Chicago Bears Central voicemails and gets into the Caleb Williams, Tyson Bagent and running back conversations heading into Packers week.
