Chicago @ Green Bay
Team Totals: Packers 25.5, Bears 19
“We’re winning in spite of our passing game, not because of it,” 9-3 Bears HC Ben Johnson admitted Monday. “And none of us are pleased with that.” Caleb Williams cutting his sacks taken more than in half from his rookie year has been his big sophomore accomplishment. But Caleb is being hidden by Johnson’s play-calling in the NFC’s run-heaviest offense while ranking 23rd in passer rating (88.2). … Only the Bills have more team rushing attempts than the Bears, and Johnson has settled into a near-even one-two punch of D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai designed to keep both backs fresh and hungry. In Black Friday’s upset win at Philadelphia, Monangai handled 22 touches to Swift’s 19, although Swift out-snapped Monangai 46 to 39. The Packers’ defense at Lambeau Field poses a tough draw — DC Jeff Hafley’s unit has held enemy backs to 3.87 yards per carry and the NFL’s eighth-fewest FF points — but Swift and Monangai both warrant RB2 valuation on the run-devoted Bears.
