Braxton Jones talks new mindset for Bears offense under Thomas Brown

Newly appointed offensive coordinator Thomas Brown has been the talk of the Chicago Bears organization, even with the loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. After nine games of inconsistency that was highlighted by embarrassing performances during their three-game losing streak, the Bears fired Shane Waldron and appointed Brown their new playcaller.

Leading into the game against Green Bay, Brown emphasized lifting the energy and focus of the offensive unit, something that was obviously apparently even in the Week 11 loss. Another lift to the offense on Sunday was the return of left tackle Braxton Jones, who had a highlight reel pancake block on D'Andre Swift's 39-yard touchdown run.

Speaking to the media on Monday, Jones discussed the change in energy with Brown leading the way for the offense.

"Early in the week he came in, told us, it starts with us," Jones said. "We've got to be on our details. It starts with us, it starts with energy, it starts with Wednesday practice, Thursday practice, and into Friday. Continuing that through Saturday and letting it loose on Sunday. For me, myself, that's what I did, coming back off injury just trying to give the juice where I could, being on my details, being as good as I could. I think all 11 [offensive players] took that seriously."

Jones had one of the best highlights on the Bears offense this past week, and if his words are any indication on what to expect moving forward, the energy, focus, and production of this unit should continue to turn around.
