After reviewing film from Monday night’s 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson didn’t see any glaring holes from his team’s performance, but did see a lot to “clean up.”
“Some good football on tape but too much inconsistent stuff that popped up that we’ll address, we’ll clean up and we’ll keep it moving,” he told reporters via Zoom on Tuesday. “Effort wasn’t an issue.
“But the execution has to improve, particularly there in the fourth quarter.”
The clean-up list is highlighted by 12 penalties for 127 yards, including four false starts and an illegal shift.
The Bears will have a short week to shore up their execution issues.
Johnson returns to Detroit, where he was the Lions’ offensive coordinator for the previous three seasons, for a Week 2 matchup Sunda
