Ben Johnson Says Daily One-on-One Bond With Caleb Williams Drove Bears’ Turnaround

Johnson credits daily one-on-one work for turning a fragile start into trust.

Overview

  • Addressing Williams’ earlier “fragile” comment, Johnson said he treats the quarterback like any player and wants each to become the best version of themselves.
  • The Bears are 11-4 with their first playoff berth since 2020, one win from the NFC North title and still in play for the NFC’s top seed with help.
  • Williams leads the NFL with six comeback wins, tying Peyton Manning for the most fourth-quarter comebacks in a season by a quarterback under 25.
  • In his first year after a 5-12 season under Matt Eberflus, Johnson has overseen a swift turnaround built on shared goals and transparency with his QB.
  • Chicago visits the 49ers on Sunday night with both teams at 11-4, as the Bears look to strengthen their seeding position.
