Ben Johnson says Caleb Williams threw "one of the better interceptions you could have"

Bears head coach Ben Johnson expressed understanding regarding an interception thrown by quarterback Caleb Williams during a game against the Packers. The play occurred on a fourth-and-6 at the Packers’ 40-yard line when Williams aimed a deep pass for wide receiver Luther Burden. Packers cornerback Carrington Valentine intercepted the pass but only managed a diving catch, bringing the ball down at the 13-yard line. Johnson noted that while there was a miscommunication between Williams and Burden, the interception inadvertently flipped the field position, which was strategically beneficial compared to an incompletion. Johnson emphasized the importance of situational awareness for defensive players, suggesting that Valentine’s interception was not ideal as it cost the Packers 27 yards of field position.
