Former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who spent a total of six seasons with the organization in multiple roles, will be on the visitor sideline for the first time as the head coach of the Chicago Bears Sunday.

The Bears did not run any trick plays in Ben Johnson's head-coaching debut against the Minnesota Vikings, but that could change in Week 2.

As division rivals, Johnson's Bears will face Campbell's Lions twice a year, starting with Sunday's matchup at Ford Field.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown said the team is "booing" Bears head coach and former Lions OC Ben Johnson when they face off.

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson sounded off on the home fans booing during Monday night's loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Down 27-24 with 2:02 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Bears were set to kick off to the Vikings. Coach Johnson said after the game that they considered an onside kick, but instead opted to kick the ball out of the back of the end zone. Yet, Cairo Santos failed to do so!

On Monday night, Bears coach Ben Johnson wasted a challenge — and blew an ultimately critical timeout — after Vikings tight end T.J.

The Bears looked in control of Monday's game against the rival Minnesota Vikings with a two-possession lead in the fourth quarter. But they allowed the Vikings and first-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy to rally from a 17-6 deficit for a 27-24 win to stun the Soldier Field crowd that was previously primed to celebrate a Week 1 win.
