Episode notes
Bears' Run Game Breakout
- Ben Johnson's Bears have surged in rushing success rate once early-season noise is removed.

- Chicago increased pre-snap motion dramatically after the bye, averaging 66% motion from week five on.
- That motion, plus more under-center work, fuels play-action and run-pass marriage Ben Johnson prefers.

- Use under-center sequencing and motion to force defensive personnel choices.
