Ben Johnson discusses Bears' fourth-quarter comeback vs. Bucs
Ben Johnson reacted to the Bears having to mount their first comeback of the season against the Buccaneers.
In 2025, the Chicago Bears have consistently found ways to come back and win in improbable situations throughout the NFL season. Quarterback Caleb Williams has led the team to an NFL-record seven fourth-quarter comebacks, including their wild-card playoff victory against the Green Bay Packers. However, this has not been the norm for the Bears this season.
After committing five turnovers in a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Bears needed to execute a game-winning drive led by Williams. Chicago secured the win, with significant contributions from tight end Colston Loveland, who caught a crucial 38-yard completion to get the Bears in scoring position.
Bears coach Ben Johnson spoke about the game-winning drive, noting that the team's confidence, despite only having similar situations a few times this season, played a role in their success. Johnson highlighted the team's feeling of being "back on the bike" and riding it again without the need for extensive sideline communication.
The offensive performance in this game was exceptional, according to Johnson. Before the start of the season, Johnson had expressed his desire for the Bears to win through blowouts and shutouts, though this has not materialized this year. However, the Bears have managed to win three games by at least three possessions, including their impressive victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8.
This ability to perform at a high level has brought the team out of the bye and positioned them first in the NFC North with a 7-2 record. The team now looks forward to their next game against the New Orleans Saints on November 22.
