- Johnson emphasized the need to improve the running game late in the season, especially to handle challenging weather and maintain offensive momentum with both efficient and explosive runs.
- The Bears face a strong run defense against the Rams, with a front line known for elite block shedding and relentless, physical play, making it a tough challenge to establish the run.
- Coach Johnson acknowledged the difficulty but stressed the importance of elevating the Bears' running game performance for the upcoming game.
