Caleb Johnson’s first game under Ben Johnson did not go well, and fans did not let him forget it.
On Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings, the Chicago Bears blew a 17-6 lead after a brutal sequence that saw them miss a field goal and punt twice, while also allowing two touchdowns in the same span. It wasted a stellar performance from the sophomore quarterback – 21/35 passing attempts completed for 211 yards and a touchdown, and six rushing attempts for 58 yards and a score.
After the game, there was much anger and mockery from fans:

“BENCH CALEB WILLIAMS FOR TYSON BAGENT!” one demanded.
“Cut Caleb Williams,” another begged.
“Caleb Williams reminds me of Anthony Richardson looks good moving and has a good spiral but man does he take sacks for no reason steps out of bounds when he can just throw it away,” another compared.
DJ Moore, Olamide Zacchaeus, and Rome Odunze were Williams’ top targets in the game, combining for 13 catches for 147 yards and a late touchdown. Tight ends Cole Kmet and rookie Colston Loveland were quiet, being held to a combined three catches for 43 yards. Meanwhile, D’Andre Swift carried the ball 17 times for 53 yards.
