In a remarkable recognition of his contributions to the Chicago Bears’ success this season, head coach Ben Johnson has been named the AP NFL Assistant Coach of the Year. Johnson, who took over offensive play-calling duties earlier in the year, has been instrumental in revitalizing the Bears’ offense, leading the team to impressive improvements across several statistical categories.

His ability to adapt strategies based on opponents and create mismatches has earned him accolades among peers and critics alike.
