Johnson hasn’t ripped into the Bears in a while, but was effective when he did it in training camp and early in the season.
It’s been a while since Bears coach Ben Johnson went off on his offense, but he let it fly after a 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday to end the regular season.
They matched their season low in scoring from late October, hit a new one in yardage at 270 and were down 16-0 going into the fourth quarter. And sloppiness was one of the main reasons their late rally fell short, specifically an intentional-grounding penalty by quarterback Caleb Williams with 2:02 left that put the Bears in a third-and-20.
“We can’t dig ourselves in a hole like that,” Johnson said. “I was disappointed with the offense as a whole. I let those guys know that. And we’ll be better for it. We’ll address it. We’ll get those things cleaned up and we’ll be better for it.
