Summary
Chicago Bears CB Jaylon Johnson joins Richard Sherman to break down Chicago’s wild playoff comeback win over the Green Bay Packers, the mindset behind the Bears’ dominant second-half defense, and the confidence that comes from winning do-or-die games. Johnson dives into his first playoff win, playing through injuries, the impact of veterans in the secondary, Al Harris’ ball-hawking coaching style, and what makes Chicago’s defense thrive under pressure. He also previews the Bears’ Divisional Round showdown against the Los Angeles Rams, detailing how to slow down Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and the Rams offense with disguises, physical coverage, and timing disruption, while sharing insight on Caleb Williams’ leadership, clutch fourth-quarter play, and why the rookie quarterback continues to rise on the biggest stage as the Bears chase a deep postseason run.
