The new Bears offensive coordinator needs to capture the right balance if he's going to help end a 10-game losing streak to Green Bay and negotiate a full NFC North schedule.
New Bears offensive coordinator Thomas Brown laughed a bit when it was pointed out his greatest success last year as a play caller came against the Green Bay Packers, this week's Bears opponent."My goal was to have every game be that same success," Brown said.
The Packers defense has since switched to a 4-3 under Jeff Hafley this year after being a 3-4 defense since 2008."I think just those guys have done a really good job in that day, making plays, being locked in, being focused, executing the game plan," he said. "That's the goal anytime you call the game."
The Packers had a 30-16 lead in the fourth quarter and it appeared over before Bryce Young and the passing game caught fire to tie it. Welcome to the reality of the Bears' 2024 plight, Thomas Brown. Your mission, now that you've decided to accept it, is to get the Bears out of this 4-5 mess and three-game losing streak to avoid the possibility they must change coaching staffs again. And you have to do it the hard way, by running through the NFC North, where all three teams are well positioned to make the playoffs.
