With only five weeks remaining in the NFL regular season, a number of head coaches have separated themselves in the race to be named Associated Press Coach of the Year. New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is the clear favorite, with Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson in second in BetMGM’s odds to win the award.

Bears head coach Ben Johnson took his shirt off after the team's big win over the Eagles. He explained why now was the time.

The Bears are 9-3, but their coach wants to see more out of the passing offense.

The Chicago Bears hold sole possession of the top spot in the NFC North standings (9-3) and are hoping to win the division for the first time since 2018.

Fox Chicago Sports contributing columnist Rick Telander breaks down how Ben Johnson’s innovative coaching, key veteran additions, and a dominant run game have turned the 9-3 Chicago Bears into surprise NFC contenders after their 24-15 win over the Eagles.

Johnson, who went shirtless after the Bears’ victory Friday against the Eagles, is one of the NFL’s most captivating characters. Beating the Packers, however, would do more to build his legacy — and for his ability to win the division — than almost anything he could do while wearing the script ‘‘B’’ hat.

Ben Johnson has made practically everyone a believer.

"GMFB" plays a round of Buyin' or Keep Tryin' and debates Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson's comments on being No. 1 seed saying "It doesn't mean anything."

It's going to take more for the Bears to get to the playoffs than beating the Eagles and even as top seeds coach Ben Johnson sees a win number ahead as a requirement.
