What happened: The Chicago coach told Dan Pompei of The Athletic he wants the highest-scoring offense ever. The 2013 Denver offense established the benchmark.
Why it matters: The goal puts a measurable standard on Chicago's offense entering the 2026 season. Denver finished 13-3 in its record-setting campaign.
By the numbers: The 2013 Denver offense scored an NFL-record 606 points, averaging 37.9 over 16 games. Chicago would need 607 points, or 35.7 per game, to surpass that total across 17 games.
What to watch: Chicago's preseason opener Saturday offers the first test of Johnson's scoring blueprint.
