Roschon Johnson ends Bears drought with 25 drives

CHICAGO – The drought is over. After 25 consecutive drives without scoring a touchdown, a streak that dates back to the fourth quarter of the Chicago Bears’ Week 8 loss in Washington and was the longest active streak in the NFL, the Bears scored to take the lead over the Green Bay Packers before halftime.

The Bears played some of their best complementary football on a drive that ended with running back Roschon Johnson rushing into the end zone for a 1-yard touchdown, giving Chicago a 10-7 lead.

There’s no doubt about that 🙌

Chicago went 76 yards in 13 plays after Bears cornerback Terell Smith picked off a Jordan Love pass on the goal line and gave the offensive starting field position on their own 24-yard line.

Five days after the Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron and replaced him with Thomas Brown, Chicago’s offense is functioning more efficiently than it has since before the Week 7 bye. The Bears had the advantage in first downs (11), yards (157) , third-down efficiency (5-of-7) and time of possession at the half.
