Ben Johnson says Bears need to step up their running attack

Our Summary

The Chicago Bears are seeking to improve their rushing attack following recent subpar performances. In their regular-season finale, the Bears recorded a season-low 65 rushing yards, followed by 93 yards in their playoff game. Head Coach Ben Johnson emphasized the need for improvement, especially in the playoffs where a strong running game is crucial. Johnson acknowledged the challenge posed by the Rams' robust run defense, known for its strong front and ability to shed blocks effectively. The Bears aim to reignite their ground game to succeed against this formidable opponent on Sunday.
