Press Taylor praises Bears offense's mentality in Week 2
Coming off their 59-point game in Week 1, Bears OC Press Taylor said the offense's mentality is that "no week carries over."
The Chicago Bears delivered an impressive offensive performance in their Week 1 season opener against the Carolina Panthers, scoring a staggering 59 points, amassing 552 total yards, including an impressive 291 rushing yards and six touchdowns, six of which were rushing scores. Head coach Ben Johnson had expressed earlier that season that the offense could potentially break the NFL's record for the highest scoring game.
However, offensive coordinator Press Taylor expressed that the team's focus for the upcoming Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings would not be on this historic performance. Taylor stated, "You couldn’t be happier with the intent [the players have] come to work this week." He acknowledged the fine line between being satisfied with past achievements and understanding the challenges ahead in the NFL.
The Bears' offense might not replicate its performance against the Vikings, who are a more formidable opponent. The Bears have not scored 59 points against Minnesota since 1961, but with their current offensive capabilities, they could certainly expect to score at least 30 points against the Vikings. The Bears' defense also appears to be a significant concern, as they allowed 37 points in the season opener.
