""He's a completely different quarterback than when we first took this job," Johnson said. "I think back to the springtime, during camp at times and some of the struggles that we were having as an offense in those moments, we've certainly moved past that. I'm encouraged for where he's at right now.""
""I know he's really looking forward to this opportunity to go out there. He's played some good football here, particularly in the back half of the season for us, and we're going to need that. We're going to need him at his best. We're going to need all of our players at their best. I'm hopeful we're going to get that.""
Ben Johnson was hired by the Chicago Bears twelve months ago and prepares the team for Saturday's wild card game against the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field. His postseason résumé includes serving as offensive coordinator for the 2024 Detroit Lions, who earned the NFC's No. 1 seed. Caleb Williams showed clear improvement since spring and camp, with stronger play in the back half of the season. Williams set the Bears single-season passing record and finished 2025 with 3,942 yards, 27 touchdowns, seven interceptions and a 90.1 passer rating. The team will need players performing at their best for the playoff game.
