Ben Johnson suggests he wanted Bears to score 60 points at Carolina

The Bears scored 59 points on Sunday at Carolina.

Mike Ditka, the legendary Bears coach, has returned to Chicago and is staying at his Streeterville condo, much to the delight of Bears fans. Known for his Super Bowl victory with the Bears in 1985, Ditka has not been seen in public for some time, but Dan Pompei recently visited him at his home. Ditka expressed satisfaction with his current health, saying, “Tell them I’m good.”

He has a favorable opinion of the current Bears coach, Ben Johnson, whose audacious fourth-and-1 play during the team’s opening week win over the Carolina Panthers has been well-received by Chicago fans. Johnson’s style has been praised, and Ditka’s endorsement adds to the excitement surrounding the team’s strong start to the season.

The article, written by Dan Pompei, serves as a tribute to Ditka and highlights the unique personality that has made the Bears a beloved team in Chicago.
