Ben Johnson Sends Bears A Message With Diabolical Play Call

It isn’t a secret that Ben Johnson is interested in the Chicago Bears coaching job. Every top insider in the NFL has hinted at it for weeks, from Albert Breer to Adam Schefter and Tom Pelissero. Sunday was his last opportunity to make a statement on the field, and he sure didn’t disappoint. The Detroit Lions offensive coordinator sliced through the Bears defense all afternoon, racking up 27 points in the first half alone. Yet the decisive moment, when it became clear Johnson was sending them a message, came early in the second half.
