CINCINNATI — Ben Johnson pulled out a bag of tricks to propel the Chicago Bears to a 47-42 win against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at Paycor Stadium.

One of the plays, dubbed “Hot Potato,” accounted for the Bears’ first score. In fact, Johnson dialed up two specialized calls on that successful drive.

On first-and-10 at the Bears 41-yard line, Johnson called for a direct snap to tight end Cole Kmet, who pitched back to quarterback Caleb Williams, who sent it back to Kmet, who then tossed to wide receiver Rome Odunze for a 14-yard gain. But the Bengals won a challenge and it was ruled incomplete.

Still, the Bears drove to the Cincinnati 2-yard line and faced fourth-and-goal.
