Ben Johnson Details Daily Bond With Caleb Williams as Bears Eye NFC North

Caleb Williams' six late comebacks have propelled Chicago into the postseason under its first-year coach.

Overview

  • The Bears are 11-4 with a playoff berth secured, one win from the NFC North title and still in play for the NFC’s top seed with two wins and a Seahawks loss.
  • Johnson said he and Williams share the same goals and spend daily one-on-one time to build transparency and a similar competitive mindset.
  • Williams leads the league with six comeback wins, tying Peyton Manning for the most fourth-quarter comebacks in a season by a quarterback under 25.
  • The quarterback said he takes some satisfaction in proving doubters wrong but emphasized that his goal is to win big beyond simply reaching the playoffs.
  • Addressing Williams’ earlier description of their relationship as “fragile,” Johnson said early tension gave way to trust as they aligned on expectations ahead of this week’s 49ers game.
