CBS ‘Aditi Kinkhabwala caught Johnson before the second half began. She qualified her question with the bears’ struggle for offense and asked what he told his team in the dressing room.

“That it was not our football brand. We are capable of much more,” Johnson said. “So we hit the reset button here at the break. We will come back and establish our identity here in the second half.”
Kinkhabwala then added, “You need to change what you are doing.”
Johnson seemed to be a little stunned with the answer.
“I don’t know. Do you think that?” He said when Kinkhabwala smiled. “We are doing well.”

The interaction triggered a crazy response to social media.
But no matter what Johnson told his team in the dressing room, apparently had an impact on his players.
Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams started the team’s first drive in the second half strong. He led a seven-play, 40-yard drive that ended up with a touchdown pass for Rome Odunze. The team scored a field goal and another touchdown in the fourth quarter – thanks to the D’Err Swift.
Chicago caught a break at the end of the game.
Geno Smith led Raiders on a six-play, 22-yard drive to give Kicker Daniel Carlson a decent shot at the leading field goal. However, Carlson missed the 54-yard trial.
