Overview
- The first-year Bears coach said Monday he misheard Aditi Kinkhabwala’s halftime question, called his reaction disappointing, and vowed to handle such interviews better.
- Kinkhabwala noted a captioning or mic issue that clipped the word “Do” from her question and later said she wished her follow-up had been more specific.
- The clip drew wide attention online, with Emmanuel Acho criticizing Johnson’s conduct and Jon Gruden defending him while questioning the value of in-game interviews.
- Chicago’s offense sputtered before halftime with about 90 total yards and two net rushing yards, and the team trailed Las Vegas 14-9 at the break.
- The Bears rallied for a 25-24 win capped by Josh Blackwell’s block of a 54-yard field goal attempt, moving to 2-2 heading into their bye week.
