"The future is bright for the Chicago Bears, which has everything to do with their head coach-quarterback duo of Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. The pair played a key role in the team's impressive 2025 season, where they went from worst to first, won the NFC North, and earned their first playoff win in nearly two decades.
Williams is one of the biggest reasons why Johnson wanted to come to Chicago, and in just one season, we saw the young QB's potential working with an offensive mastermind like Johnson. From the beginning, the relationship between Johnson and Williams has been a hot topic of conversation, and they quickly hit it off as they share a similar mindset and goals."
One of the best things a team could have is its star quarterback and elite coach on the same page. The Chiefs have had that with Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, which has led to a dynasty run for their franchise. The Patriots are the best example of that case; Tom Brady and Bill Belichick haunted the rest of the league for many years. Having two fierce competitors at the most important positions on a football team leads to multiple championships. There are games that can be won just by the quarterback being the best player on the field and the coach outcoaching the other side. This season, in their first year together, Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams showed they have that ability.
Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson could very well be in the beginning stages of becoming the next highly successful coach and quarterback duo in the NFL. Either way, it is safe to assume that year 2 will be another successful season for the two together.
