Open Extended ReactionsLAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Each week, as Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen builds his plan to attack his next opponent, he has often done so by having to get creative. But Dennis Allen, who coached Jackson in New Orleans, knew he could help the Bears. Bears HC Ben Johnson gave a game ball to his defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, the former Saints HC. Gardner-Johnson's history of playing under Allen in New Orleans led the Bears to secure the versatile defensive back near midseason. In Allen's first season with the Bears, Chicago is on pace to be one of the league's best at forcing turnovers.
