Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson issues big challenge to offense

The Chicago Bears made major strides in Ben Johnson’s first season, as Caleb Williams made major leaps in his development, guiding a franchise record seven comeback victories en route to an NFC Playoff appearance and postseason victory.

However, if the Bears are going to take the next step to becoming legitimate Super Bowl contenders, there are some key personnel holes that general manager Ryan Poles must address in the offseason ahead, and one big area where the offense must make a major leap in 2026.

Ben Johnson challenges Chicago Bears’ wide receivers to improve

During his year-end press conference, Johnson suggested that the Bears need much more out of the receiving corps next season, than they consistently showed in 2025.

“We gotta do a better job catching the football next year,” Johnson told reporters Wednesday.

While Williams and the Bears’ offense did an effective job spreading targets around between receivers DJ Moore, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, and tight ends Colston Loveland, with each logging more than 60 targets and at least 600 receiving yards, none of them even surpassed 750 receiving yards or caught more than six touchdowns.

Worse, only four teams dropped more passes than the Bears’ 29 this season.

Some of the Bears’ issues in the passing game, and with timing, might be worked out with more time on the practice field with and more continuity with Williams, but this might need to be an area Poles pushes up Chicago’s offseason priority list in order to maximize the young quarterback’s immediate potential.

If the Bears’ offense is going to take the next step, Chicago needs a true No. 1 receiver to rise to the forefront
