It was the type of loss that the Chicago Bears will have a hard time getting anything out of. Sometimes you need to burn the tape and move on.
You got the sense when hearing him speak after the 52-21 loss to the Detroit Lions that head coach Ben Johnson was already ready to move on.
He came into Detroit looking to prove that he was more than just a great playcaller for the Lions. He was looking to prove that he was head coaching material, and he was worth the hire by Chicago.
Johnson left his old stomping grounds with a bruised and battered ego and a 0-2 record so far as a head coach hanging over his shoulders, though.
He watched his old teams put up over 50 points and 511 offensive yards on his defense while his offense (his calling card) turned the ball over twice and went 0-2
