Ben Johnson’s kids wanted to watch the second half of the Bears’ win before they went to school Tuesday morning. The coach heard some of the “Monday Night Football” broadcast and didn’t sound amused, telling Bears play-by-play man Jeff Joniak in a Tuesday interview that “it sounded like from that game the other night a few people weren’t particularly pleased with how we were winning right now.”

Asked about the broadcast later Tuesday, Johnson tried to prove a point.

“Listen, you want respect in this league, you got to go earn it,” he said.
