In the 2024 season, the Chicago Bears will be led by head coach Ben Johnson, who was previously the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions. Meanwhile, the Vikings' first-round quarterback drafted in 2024, J.J. McCarthy, will make his first NFL start tonight. The Bears' first-round quarterback, Caleb Williams, is operating a new offense this season under Ben Johnson.
