Amon-Ra St. Brown on Jared Goff’s Mindset After Ben Johnson’s Comments
The Detroit Lions already had plenty of motivation for their matchups against the Chicago Bears in 2025, but former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson may have added even more fuel to the fire. Now the Bears’ head coach, Johnson recently praised rookie quarterback Caleb Williams at the NFL Combine, sparking debate over whether his comments were a subtle dig at Jared Goff.
Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown doesn’t believe Johnson meant any disrespect, but he’s confident the remarks will push Goff even harder. “It’s just going to give Jared that much more fire when we play the Bears,” St. Brown said on his podcast. Whether intentional or not, Johnson’s words might have set the stage for a fierce NFC North showdown.
