The Chicago Bears are under new management this off-season. Ben Johnson was brought in from the Detroit Lions to revitalize Chicago and put them back on the playoff map. Chicago has been in a slump as a franchise for quite some time now. In fact, since 2013 Chicago has one season above .500 (2018). Johnson intends to change that.
However, fans are questioning one of their most recent decisions.
