Bears RG Jonah Jackson on Ben Johnson's diabolical idea for first play

Bears head coach Ben Johnson sent out two quarterbacks to start the game vs. Jets, but he had another idea for the first play.

In the Week 4 game against the New York Jets, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson surprised everyone by having both Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent on the field for the first play. Keenum took the snap and handed it to running back D Andre Swift, while Bagent lined up out wide. However, according to right guard Jonah Jackson, it seems the coach asked the team if he should bring out both quarterbacks or none at all for that opening play.

Jackson stated that Johnson inquired, "Jonah, what do you think? Two quarterbacks on the field at the same time for the first play, or none at all?" Jackson chose to go with two quarterbacks, appreciating the element of surprise. The coach, known for his unique approach, continues to defy media expectations while keeping his opponents and the media guessing.
