The Chicago Bears suffered a brutal loss to the Minnesota Vikings in the season opener. J.J. McCarthy led a wild fourth-quarter comeback to ruin Ben Johnson ’s head coaching debut. The Bears hired Johnson this offseason with the expectation that he would elevate Caleb Williams ’ game. But according to the second-year quarterback, it’s still a work in progress.
After a rough Week 1 loss, Williams discussed his relationship with Johnson in the new Bears’ offense. “There was a lot of good there. He was getting the plays in fast. It’s a growing process,” Williams explained, per CHGO Bears.
Chicago looked good early. Despite missing key defenders Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon, the Bears defense dominated the first three quarters.
