Overview

• The halftime interview turned tense after Johnson interrupted an opening prompt and then answered a follow-up with, "I don’t know, you think so? We’re going to be just fine."
• On Monday, Johnson said he misheard the follow-up as a statement rather than a question, called his tone disappointing, and vowed to "do a better job" in future in-game interviews.
• Aditi Kinkhabwala noted that poor captioning clipped the word "Do" from her question and said she wished she had been more specific on the follow-up.
• The clip, posted by NFL on CBS to X, drew wide reaction, with critics such as Emmanuel Acho objecting to Johnson’s demeanor and Jon Gruden defending the pressures coaches face.
• The Bears, who had 90 first-half yards and trailed 14-9, rallied to beat the Raiders 25-24 to reach 2-2 entering a Week 5 bye.
