Bears Coach Ben Johnson Emphasizes Team Effort in Win Over Steelers.
In a post-game locker room address, Bears coach Ben Johnson highlighted the importance of teamwork in their 31-28 victory over the Steelers on Sunday. "It takes a village," he told his players, emphasizing that success is not solely dependent on individual stars.
The Bears were severely tested without three starting linebackers, yet they emerged victorious thanks to contributions from multiple players and staff members. D'Marco Jackson, who made his first career start, was instrumental in calling plays during the huddle, while Montez Sweat had a standout performance with two sacks and a fumble recovery.
Coach Johnson praised these individuals, as well as others who may not receive recognition for their efforts. "It's everyone," he said. The Bears will face the Eagles next on Friday, with the team in good shape to be the first repeat winners in the NFC East since 2004.

like seriously, no more individual superstar vibes - it's all about everyone working together towards a common goal! 
and i love how he called out d'marco jackson for being a total game-changer in the huddle 
montez sweat had some sick sacks too lol... what i think is really awesome though, is that coach johnson is highlighting those unsung heroes who might not get all the recognition, but are still making huge contributions to the team 
gotta be super proud of these guys! 
. Coach Johnson is totally right - it's not just about one superstar, it's about everyone doing their part and supporting each other 
. And I love how he praised those players who might get overlooked for their contributions - they're definitely the real MVPs 
. Can we just say that the players did their jobs and the coaches made some good calls? 
. Seriously though, how do you maintain any semblance of a game plan when your whole defense is missing key players?
.
. and montez sweat getting those two sacks and fumble recovery? game-changer! now let's see how they do against the eagles next week - i think they've got this in the bag 
. Jackson and Sweat were huge in this win, no doubt about it 
. Its all about the team village, you know? And now they're looking good for that NFC East title 
... fingers crossed they can keep it up! 
. What about the rest of the guys who didn't even get any playing time? Are they just supposed to sit back and collect a paycheck? And what's with this "it's everyone" BS? Sounds like coach is just trying to cover his own behind. Can't trust anyone in the league when it comes to being honest 
.
. i love d'marco jackson making his first career start and montez sweat having that insane performance 
. And let's be real, if you're relying on one player to carry your team to victory every single week, then that's just not sustainable 
. I love how Coach Johnson is emphasizing this though - it's a breath of fresh air in the NFL 
️!
d'marco jackson and montez sweat were huge in their win 
not just the superstars 
, but they pulled it off and proved that everyone contributes in their own way 
i mean, what's the deal with ben johnson not giving credit to the guys who didn't have a major impact? is he just trying to make everyone feel like they're part of the squad? 
They didn't have their A-game in every position, but they made it work because everyone was on the same page. It's all about trust, right? Like, D'Marco Jackson, he's not even a superstar linebacker, but he stepped up and called some sick plays in that huddle! 
And Montez Sweat, wow, two sacks and a fumble recovery? That's like, next level stuff!
And can we talk about how the team handled being short-handed? Massive props to D'Marco Jackson for stepping up and Montez Sweat for bringing that intensity 
! i love how he talks about the village, it's like, we're all in this together 
!
but seriously, it makes sense. d'marco jackson stepped up big time on defense and montez sweat is just straight fire
