Bears Coach Ben Johnson Laments Defense's Inability to Affect Brock Purdy

Bears head coach Ben Johnson expressed frustration over his defense's performance against 49ers QB Brock Purdy, stating, "we certainly didn't affect him enough." Johnson acknowledged Purdy as a "dangerous player" who extended plays with his legs and had ample time to see downfield, leading to the 49ers' 42-38 victory. The Bears will need a better answer for Purdy if they meet again in the postseason, as Purdy's five total touchdowns proved too much to overcome.
