Ben Johnson speaks out on Caleb Williams’ mistake in loss to Bengals
Caleb Williams threw back-to-back incompletions during his limited run in the 27-9 preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chicago Bears quarterback failed to connect with a wide-open Colston Loveland inside the 10-yard line, resulting to a field goal instead of a touchdown. During his postgame availability, head coach Ben Johnson spoke about the play.
Williams only played in Chicago’s first series before Case Keenum replaced him until halftime. The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner completed 2-of-5 passes for 28 yards. Keenum recorded 9-of-17 completions for 113 yards, while Miller Moss went 13-of-21 for 103 yards.
Next up for Williams, Johnson and Co. is a matchup with the Tennessee Titans on Saturday. It’s the last of the preseason slate, giving them a chance to finish with a 2-1 record.

Chicago Bears: Ben Johnson gives his take on Caleb Williams’ mistake
Johnson emphasized that he believes Williams did not make the right call. He said that the 24-year-old should’ve opted for another option.
“I would probably go somewhere else with the ball on that one,” Johnson said.

The Bears did not score a touchdown all game long, only converting three field goals. While it’s still the preseason, there’s could be some cause of concern for Johnson and his staff.
The good news is they have been able to rest majority of the starters to keep them fresh for the regular season. Johnson’s team will wrap up its preseason on Saturday when it visits the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium.
Chicago will open its schedule on Sept. 13 on the road versus the Carolina Panthers. The team’s home opener is set for Week 2 on Sept. 20 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears are aiming to surpass their achievements last year. They won the NFC North with an 11-6 record and lost 20-17 in overtime to the Los Angeles Chargers.
