Ben Johnson reacts to Bears' ugly win over Bucs in Week 9

It is hard to feel much worse after a win. The Chicago Bears defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27-24 on a game-winning field goal from kicker Cairo Santos. But it never should have come down to that. There were a lot of bad takeaways from this game, but head coach Ben Johnson also sees a lot of good coming from this because the Bears were able to get a win despite playing at their worst. “Despite the displeasure I might be presenting right now, there’s a lot of good in terms of building this team that comes from a win like this,” Johnson said. “They know that we didn’t play as well as we’re capable of playing. But I believe the best is yet to come in terms of our football in the back half of this season.” Chicago started out the game on fire with two touchdowns to take an early 14-0 lead. Quarterback Caleb Williams only had two incompletions those drives, both of which were drops. But things went downhill on the third drive. The Bears got all the way down to Tampa Bay’s eight-yard line before a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty pushed Chicago back to the 21-yard line. On the next play, Williams’ threw his first of four interceptions of the game. Chicago turned the ball over five time in what turned into an ugly game for both teams. The difference in the game came down to points off turnovers. Tampa Bay only had 10 points of their five takeaways, which is pretty bad. The Bears technically had less points off of turnovers, but they had a pick-six from cornerback Jaylon Johnson, which turned out to be a key difference in the game. After this game, the Bears 7-2 going into their bye week. The week off gives them a chance to reset and figure out what when wrong in this game, especially on offense.
