Bears defensive linemen Justin Jones and Montez Sweat celebrate Sunday.

Since Week 10, the Bears have allowed the fifth-fewest points, second-lowest passer rating and fourth-fewest rushing yards. They have a goal they want to reach before the end of the season, though.

“I think we’re due for a shutout,” cornerback Jaylon Johnson said after practice Wednesday. “That’s something I don’t think we’ve done this year … doing something new.

“We’ve had four-turnover games, interceptions, touchdowns, but I think If we can come out with a shutout these next two weeks, one of these games, I think that’ll be very big for what we’re trying to do and establish (ourselves) as a dominant defense.
