Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson created a one-snap, ceremonial debut for Case Keenum against the Jets after Caleb Williams’ injury altered the QB plan; Keenum’s lone snap preceded Tyson Bagent’s takeover as the offense rolled to a 23-12 win. The tactic drew media controversy but highlighted Johnson’s strategic edge and the team’s momentum as it outplayed New York on both sides of the ball. The game reinforced Johnson’s reputation as an innovative play-caller and suggested the Bears’ defense and coaching staff can sustain success regardless of the quarterback. If Williams returns healthy and strong, Chicago could remain a legitimate NFC contender alongside top teams like the 49ers and Seahawks. Lookahead hinges on Williams’ form and the continued development of the coaching-driven system.
