Critical flaw in Chicago Bears’ offense exposed ahead of 2025 season (News)

When injuries damaged the Chicago Bears’ depth in the secondary over the first half of the 2025 season, they turned to a veteran free agent to provide some relief.

C.J. Gardner-Johnson has delivered in a big way since joining the team, immediately becoming a splash-play machine for the Bears defense:

The Bears are clearly maximizing Gardner-Johnson’s unique skill set and versatility, particularly when it comes to making plays behind the line of scrimmage:

The Bears’ offense is humming right now behind Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson, and inconsistency from the defense is the only thing holding the team back.

If Gardner-Johnson can continue to have this kind of impact, it could help elevate the entire defense down the stretch. If that happens, the Bears could be a dangerous team the rest of the way in 2025, competing for a playoff spot and a potential NFC North title.
