""Nobody in that room wants to get it corrected more than the players, alright?" Hightower said. "And we are going to work night and day to get it all cleaned up. I can promise you that. I will bust my ass and they will too, alright, to get it cleaned up.""
""It's lane integrity," Johnson said. "We have to do a better job shedding blocks, rallying to the football. We were too passive at times. There are a number of things we can clean up there and it's not just any one particular player, it's everybody. It's all the coaches"
Chicago's special teams committed multiple critical errors in the Week 9 win over Cincinnati, including allowing a 98-yard opening kickoff return and poor onside-kick execution that led to two Bengals touchdowns in 49 seconds. Kicker Cairo Santos had a field goal blocked and missed a 47-yard attempt that was later negated by a penalty, and a Devin Duvernay 52-yard kickoff was wiped out by an offensive-holding flag on Jahdae Walker. Special teams coordinator Richard Hightower accepted responsibility and promised intensive work to correct issues. Head coach Ben Johnson cited lane integrity, shedding blocks, rallying to the football, and overall passivity as areas to fix.
