Ben Johnson wants to have the highest-scoring offense ever

Key Points:

• Bears coach Ben Johnson aims to surpass the 2013 Denver Broncos' record for highest-scoring offense, targeting more than 37.9 points per game, along with shutouts and blowout victories.
• Johnson also aspires to break the NFL record for consecutive wins, currently 21 by the Patriots from 2003-2004, and to achieve an undefeated season, a feat last accomplished by the 1972 Dolphins.
• While these ambitious goals exceed the traditional ultimate aim of winning the Super Bowl, Johnson wants his players to adopt a mindset of striving beyond the championship itself.
• Bears fans, who have not won a title in over 40 years and last reached the Super Bowl 20 years ago, may find hope in Johnson’s bold vision despite the team being considered the league’s top regression candidate.
• It is noted, however, that the 2013 Broncos set the scoring record without winning the Super Bowl, underscoring that high scoring does not guarantee ultimate playoff success.
