Ben Johnson shares dad’s 11-word wisdom after Bears’ 5-turnover game
The Chicago Bears earned a 27-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. However, it certainly won’t be the cleanest game Chicago will play under head coach Ben Johnson.
The Bears turned the ball over five times, with quarterback Caleb Williams throwing a career-high four interceptions. Chicago saw their 24-13 lead entering the fourth quarter slip away in a hurry due to those miscues. During the bye week, Williams and company will be working on their ball security.
But in the end, the Bears still came out on top. At 7-2, Chicago has proved their NFC North championship from 2025 was no fluke. After trading for All-Pro Jeffery Simmons, the franchise now has serious Super Bowl aspirations.
Along that road, there are sure to be speedbumps. In Week 9, the Bears battled through any setbacks and extended their winning streak to four.
Bears’ Ben Johnson turns to dad for extra inspiration
In past years, the Bears may have crumbled if they turned the ball over five times. But Johnson has helped spawn a new winning culture in Chicago. Everyone involved with the franchise is searching for excellence. So is Johnson’s father, who imparted a lasting message to the team, via Danny Parkins of First Things First, h/t Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team.
“I shared this with the guys,” Johnson said. “My dad sent me a quote: ‘Only mediocre people can be at their best all the time.’”
“When you think about it like that, it wasn’t our best night as an offense, certain individuals weren’t at their best, I have some play calls I want back,” he continued. “As a team, to find a way to still be able to win, other guys stepping up and filling the void, I think that’s what good teams do.”

Coming off of their bye week, the Bears will take on the New Orleans Saints. Moving to 8-2 would only make Chicago’s playoff hopes stronger. But to do so, Johnson and his team will have to be much better than just mediocre.
