Ben Johnson Uses 'Regression Candidate' Label to Motivate Bears

Bears head coach Ben Johnson is using the 'No. 1 regression candidate' label as a motivational tool. Responding to comments from Jaguars coach Liam Coen regarding the media attention surrounding Caleb Williams, Johnson emphasized a grounded approach. Despite an NFC North title and a playoff appearance last year, Johnson is not resting on his laurels, aiming to channel external skepticism into team motivation as the Bears prepare for the upcoming season.
