Bears’ rookie back responded to coaching of Chiefs’ OC Eric Bieniemy | Arrowhead Pride Skip to main content A Kansas City Chiefs CommunityArrowhead PrideJanuary 21, 2026Arrowhead Pride Sections Arrowheadlines The Kansas City backfield stands to benefit from Bieniemy’s return. The Kansas City Chiefs are reuniting with former offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy after a disappointing 2025 season that resulted in a major shakeup in the coaching staff. Bieniemy’s 2025 season was the opposite: he was hired to coach the running backs for the Chicago Bears and first-year head coach Ben Johnson, who was the hottest name among offensive-minded candidates in last year’s coaching carousel. Chicago won the NFC North and beat the division-rival Green Bay Packers in the playoffs by leaning heavily on a top-10 offense. While quarterback Caleb Williams proved capable of leading a high-powered unit, it was the rushing attack that drove the offense to be one of the NFL’s best. As a team, the Bears averaged the third-most rushing yards per attempt (4.9). Lead running back D’Andre Swift set a career high in rushing yards (1,087) and touchdowns (9).
