"I've got the best coach in the world," said Bears quarterback Caleb Williams about first-year head coach Ben Johnson after Chicago's remarkable win over Green Bay. With Johnson's play calling and Williams' execution, the Bears have won six games when trailing inside the final two minutes - no other team has won as many since the NFL merger in 1970. But so has Williams, an interesting character who had seemingly struggled to adapt from college to the NFL - or maybe just needed the right coach? Against Green Bay, Chicago managed just three points in three quarters before Williams led them to 19 in the fourth and overtime - when the going gets tough the Bears get going. That could spell trouble for opponents in the play-offs.
