Bears Edge Raiders 25–24 After Blocked Kick as Ben Johnson Challenges Caleb Williams

The victory showcases Ben Johnson’s demanding approach shaping Caleb Williams’ growth.

Overview

  • Josh Blackwell blocked Daniel Carlson’s late field goal in Las Vegas, setting up the short drive that sealed Chicago’s 25–24 Week 4 win.
  • Before the final series, Johnson told his quarterback, “This is what you’re built for,” a message both reiterated postgame.
  • Caleb Williams finished with 212 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and guided the go-ahead march capped by D’Andre Swift’s 2-yard run.
  • Johnson emphasized pushing players rather than cheerleading and has leaned into creative calls, including an attempted “stumblebum” trick play.
  • The Bears move to 2–2 heading into their bye week, with their next game at Washington on Monday, Oct. 13.
