Jared Goff downplays Ben Johnson's joke about mobility: 'No big deal'
Bears coach Ben Johnson took a playful jab at Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff's mobility following Chicago's win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday.
Allen Park — Chicago Bears quarterback Jared Goff downplayed a jest made by former Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson following the team's Week 3 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Johnson, now the head coach of the Chicago Bears, commented on running an offense with an immobile quarterback like former Lions starter Caleb Williams.
Goff, speaking on the St. Brown Podcast, said Johnson reached out the following morning to clarify his intentions, stating, "Ben can't seem to get out of his own way when he's talking to the media, he seems to be a lightning rod for them." Goff assured it was all in good fun, adding, "I'll have to throw something his way at some point where I'm like, 'Oh, yeah, whatever, playcaller, blah, blah, blah.'"
Goff's versatility, including some impressive movement plays during the win against the New York Jets, highlighted the team's reliance on his skills.
