Ben Johnson called Jared Goff after latest mobility dig

After the Bears beat the Eagles on Monday night with third-string quarterback Case Keenum, Chicago coach Ben Johnson made another cheeky remark about Lions quarterback Jared Goff's lack of mobility.

In a recent exchange following the Bears' victory over the Eagles, Chicago coach Ben Johnson fired another jab at Lions quarterback Jared Goff, this time regarding Goff's mobility. Johnson made the comment during an appearance on the St. Brown podcast alongside teammates Amon-Ra and Equanimeous. Goff was quick to reveal that he had already received a call from Johnson after the remark, stating, "Ben can’t seem to get out of his own way when he’s talking to the media."

Goff's comment reflects the pattern of Johnson's increasingly aggressive comments about Goff's physical attributes. This is not the first time Johnson has targeted Goff in this manner; it is the second instance of such remarks. During the recent incident, Johnson's smirk while answering the question suggested that he carefully considered his words before delivering the comment.

To counter this, Goff plans to craft a response that will be interpreted as a playful jab aimed at Johnson. Once he delivers this response, Goff intends to call Johnson and clarify that his intention was to joke.
