“Is He Ok? Bears HC Ben Johnson Has Fans Freaking Out After Shocking Photo Emerges

The Chicago Bears got the man they wanted in Ben Johnson.  This off-season, he was one of the most sought after coaches in the NFL.  Not only that, but Chicago has made a plethora of moves to solidify their offensive and defensive lines.

However, it could be taking a toll on Johnson.

A shocking side-by-side image of Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson shows him aging by ten years in just seven weeks:

Yesterday marked seven weeks since Ben Johnson was officially introduced as the new head coach of the Bears at a press conference. Johnson spent the previous three seasons as the Detroit Lions’ offensive coordinator, leading them to a top-five scoring offense each year.

On Wednesday night, Greg Braggs Jr. of CHGO Sports shared two images of Johnson over a 49-day period. He looks like a fresh and healthy 38-year-old at his press conference in the first image, but the same can’t be said about the second photo:

Fans were quick to react to this photo:

This man seriously hasn’t slept trying to fix the Bears. 🫡

He’s figuring out that Caleb Williams + the No. 27 ranked defense + Detroit and Green Bay in his division = a losing record. As a former NFL Scout, I knew that before he took the job.
