Bears Chase Scoring History

Chicago Bears Coach Ben Johnson Targets Historic Scoring Record After Season Opener

Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson has expressed his desire to have the highest-scoring offense in NFL history, following a 59-37 win over the Carolina Panthers. The Bears scored eight touchdowns in their season opener, marking the most points in a season opener in their history. Despite starting the game with a fumble and some costly penalties, the team managed to put up 552 yards and 291 on the ground. D'Andre Swift led the running game with 124 yards and three touchdowns. Johnson's aggressive approach to fourth-and-1 from his own 21 led to a touchdown from the Panthers' quarterback, which backfired, but he said it depends on the situation. The 2013 Denver Broncos scored the most point in an NFL season with 603.
