🏈 Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson backs Mike Tomlin over his statement regarding the Ja’Marr Chase spitting on Jalen Ramsey incident.

Tomlin said during his Tuesday press conference, “I have no message if someone spits in your face. Do what comes natural” when pressed about his messaging to Ramsey, who was ejected from the game for throwing a punch at Chase.

Johnson thinks Tomlin nailed it with his comment.

“He sets the bar very high, and nothing but respect for him. How he goes about his business, he holds his players accountable – I think you saw it even this week with some of the quotes talking about a player getting spit at. His reaction to it, I mean, he’s 100% right as far as I’m concerned,” Johnson said.

🏈 WWE Superstar Seth Rollins wants to see his Bears get revenge on Aaron Rodgers.

“I’ll tell you where I’d like to begin — I hope that his little wrist is okay,” Rollins said on Good Morning Football. “I hope that he suits up this Sunday in Chicago — because this is not the same Bears team that he has faced years and years and years and years in Chicago. And he’s not on the same team that he was in Green Bay. This Steelers team is not those Packers teams. And he is not the same Aaron Rodgers that he’s always been. He’s on the backside of his career. …

“This is going to be a different story — you’re going against the first-place Chicago Bears. This is two first-place teams going head-to-head in Chicago. Ben Johnson is...
