Rome Odunze responds to Ben Johnson’s criticism of Bears’ practice habits

Earlier this week, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson made it clear that he’s not thrilled with his team’s practice habits.

As the team prepares for Sunday’s home game against the Dallas Cowboys, Johnson is looking for his team to step up their game when it comes to their preparations throughout the week.

In the wake of his comments, Bears players have been responding well, including these comments from second-year wide receiver Rome Odunze:

After an 0-2 start, it’s hard to argue with Johnson’s assessment, considering the Bears haven’t put anywhere near a championship-level product on the field against a game-day opponent.

But if Odunze and the rest of the locker room take those words to heart and respond to the challenge by raising their game, we could see a bounce-back performance against the Cowboys this week, and a more competitive teams as the season wears on.
