Bears coach cites quarterback's preparation after high-scoring win over Panthers

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said his confidence was high after quarterback Caleb Williams led the team to a 59-37 win over the Carolina Panthers, throwing two touchdowns, running for two more and guiding an offense that amassed 552 yards. Johnson told reporters that the performance reflected the aggressive approach the team is pursuing this season. > "That’ll always be the goal. We want to be the highest scoring, we want to have the most wins, we want to win Super Bowls. That’s what we do. We didn’t get into this profession trying to be mediocre or average," he said. The victory marked a strong start to the second year of the Johnson-Williams partnership, reinforcing expectations for a potent Chicago offense.
