Ben Johnson has injected a winning culture into Chicago's locker room. He has already been a home run signing, and the team isn't done yet.

One name among the bunch that chimed in on the conversation this week was ex-Bears QB Jay Cutler. In an interview with ESPN 1000’s Waddle and Silvy show, Cutler shared his thoughts on both unretiring and head coach Ben Johnson.

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson didn't sound encouraged about Kyler Gordon's latest injury development.

The Bears coach described the injury situations with both Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze and one looks like a longer wait for recovery.

The victory over Cleveland keeps the Bears' NFC North playoff hopes alive. Per The Athletic, Chicago now has a 32% chance of winning the division. If they beat the Green Bay Packers at home in Week 16, it will jump to 61%. Even if the Bears don't win the NFC North this season, the organization should feel highly optimistic about its future.

Coach Ben Johnson didn’t sound particularly optimistic when discussing the health of Rome Odunze, who has dealt with chronic foot issues for most of the season. He was cleared to play Sunday and was put on the team’s game-day roster but felt pain while warming up and was ruled out before kickoff.

Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson praised Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders ahead of their matchup, calling him “dangerous” and a spark for Cleveland’s offense. His rise echoes what Colorado Buffaloes fans long believed he’d become in the NFL.

In one offseason, Ben Johnson has transformed the Bears from a national punchline into an NFC powerhouse — a turnaround worth of NFL Coach of the Year honors.
