Ben Johnson: Thought about going for two, liked our chances in OT better

Bears head coach Ben Johnson decided to kick an extra point to tie the game against the Rams with 18 seconds remaining in regulation, rather than attempt a two-point conversion. The decision came as the Bears had struggled with goal-to-go situations throughout the game. The team ultimately lost 20-17 after Rams safety Kam Curl intercepted Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, setting up a game-winning field goal drive. Johnson cited the team's recent performance in similar situations as a factor in his decision to aim for overtime. Earlier in the game, the Bears failed to score after reaching the Rams’ 5-yard line and were unable to convert two fourth-down attempts in the first half, which contributed to their defeat.
