Ben Johnson further proves all-time Bears great status in win over Falcons
Week 6’s matchup against the Atlanta Falcons marked Ben Johnson’s 23rd game as head coach. Already, he has proven to be at least one of the best head coach’s in recent franchise history.
In his first year, he led the Bears to an 11-6 record and NFC North championship. That marked the first time the franchise made the playoffs since 2020. And by beating the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round, Chicago earned their first postseason win since 2010.
Now in 2026, Johnson and company are looking to prove they’re no fluke. With a 4-2 record – despite having to turn to a backup quarterback for three games – they’re on are on the right track.
While there were some speed bumps, the Bears earned a 31-23 win over the Falcons. Along the way, Johnson further proved why he is climbing up the Chicago coaching rankings.
Ben Johnson’s fast start sets new Bears record
The Bears victory was made easier by holding a 14-0 lead after the first quarterback. While the Falcons fought back until the final whistle, there was enough cushion to feel comfortable.
That 14 point fourth quarter was the second of Chicago’s early season. That’s the same amount as the Bears has from 2015-2024, via Kevin Fishbain of the Athletic. A year and a not even a half of the Johnson era has blown other head coach’s performances out of the water, via TruMediaSports, h/t Fishbain.
14-point first quarters by Bears coach (via @TruMediaSports)…
Ben Johnson: 5
Matt Eberflus: 0
Matt Nagy: 2
John Fox: 0
Marc Trestman: 4— Kevin Fishbain (@kfishbain) October 18, 2026
Johnson is obviously known for his offensive acumen, so it may not be necessarily shocking to see the Bears put up points. But his new record further points to the shift in Chicago’s mentality. They want to control the pace and enforce their will. Putting opposing teams in a 14+ point hole may be too difficult for them to overcome.
Johnson and the Bears will have an opportunity for another fast start against the New England Patriots in Week 7. The head coach will look to add onto his first quarter legacy.
