• The exchange occurred with Chicago trailing the Raiders 14-9 at the half, and viewers noted Johnson’s extended glare as Kinkhabwala laughed nervously.
• Chicago rallied in the second half and beat Las Vegas 25-24 on a last-second blocked field goal, echoing Johnson’s assertion that the team would be fine.
• The clip spread widely on social media, drawing critiques that included Emmanuel Acho’s view that the reporter’s questions were fair and that Johnson talked over her.
