The Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions both secured victories on Sunday. ESPN revealed that Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson is expected to interview for the Bears’ head-coaching position. This announcement follows Detroit’s 34-17 win over Chicago at Soldier Field.
“Sources told ESPN that Johnson is a key candidate the Bears plan to interview. Detroit’s offense exceeded 400 yards for the third time in four games, jumping to an early 20-0 lead. Meanwhile, Johnson praised Caleb Williams’ passing ability, highlighting the unique speed and sound of his throws.”
Ben Johnson Poised for Bears Interview
“There’s no denying Johnson’s skill. Last game, standing on the sidelines, you could hear the ball whizzing by. Williams has impressive arm strength, creativity, and can extend plays while maintaining accuracy downfield.”
Prime Chance for Chicago
Johnson previously indicated he’d only interview for head coaching roles he truly valued. This presents a major chance for Chicago. As one of the NFL’s top offensive minds, Johnson could have taken a head coaching role last year but opted to remain in Detroit for what he called “the right fit.” The Bears seem to match that description.
Sunday not only displayed Johnson’s offensive prowess but also served as a showcase for Caleb Williams to demonstrate his potential as the franchise’s cornerstone under Johnson’s guidance.
Chicago Must Seize the Moment
Everything seems to align for Chicago. Johnson, considered a leading coaching candidate, appears drawn to the Bears. With the No. 1 overall pick in Caleb Williams, whom Johnson admires, the Bears could unite an innovative coach with a top-tier quarterback prospect.
The path forward is clear: don’t hesitate. Johnson is ready to lead and transform the team. Chicago needs a turnaround, and Johnson seems prepared to deliver.
