Almost any coach would’ve been an upgrade for the Bears after Matt Eberflus’ stint imploded under the weight of every variety of mismanagement imaginable. Ben Johnson already has made some necessary changes at Halas Hall to sharpen virtually every aspect of how the Bears operate.
But he is betting his tenure on quarterback Caleb Williams, and there’s no way he’ll win without getting him on track. That reality undermined Johnson’s debut Monday as the Vikings rallied to beat the Bears 27-24.
It ended with fans at Soldier Field booing as time ran out on the Bears’ last-ditch scramble to get downfield with laterals.
