Ben Johnson throws Cairo Santos under the bus after Bears Week 1 loss

The Ben Johnson era for the Chicago Bears didn’t get off to the start the team hoped it would, losing on Monday Night Football 27-24 to the Minnesota Vikings. After entering the fourth quarter up 17-6, it looked like Chicago would secure a season-opening win. Instead, the Bears found themselves trying to stage a late-game comeback after the Vikings quickly scored 21 unanswered points.

Chicago eventually responded, scoring a touchdown seconds before the two-minute warning, and the team was hoping to get the ball back with enough time to put together one last drive.
