Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, one of the hot candidates for the next round of head coaching jobs, is “intrigued’’ by the Bears opening, NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero said Sunday.
Intrigued? Like a scientist studying a dying species is intrigued? Like someone drawn to a CTA third rail might be intrigued?
OK, OK: Johnson would be crazy not to be intrigued by Caleb Williams’ strong right arm. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 draft was very good Sunday in a 34-17 loss to the Lions. He threw for 334 yards and two touchdowns.
