Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has been the most coveted head-coaching candidate in the NFL the last three Januarys, and the Bears interviewed him Saturday morning via videoconference.
Johnson, 38, has been the Lions’ offensive coordinator since 2022. They led the NFL in scoring this season at 33.2 points per game after finishing eighth last season and ninth in Johnson’s first season.
Johnson has raved about Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, and Williams said this week he’s a fan of Johnson as well.
