The Chicago Bears finally have a date to interview Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. It'll be a virtual interview, but an interview nonetheless.

As of Thursday, the Chicago Bears have interviewed two high-profile candidates for the open head coaching position. The Bears met with former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel on Wednesday.

Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn has denied an interview request from the New England Patriots.

After losing the first regular-season game in league history pitting teams with a combined 28 victories, the Vikings (14-3) hit the road for wild-card weekend, visiting the NFC West champion Los Angeles Rams (10-7) on Monday night as the most accomplished fifth seed in NFL history.

As the Bears look for their next head coach, offensive mastermind of the Lions Ben Johnson has caught Chicago's eye.

After a brief return to college as the OL coach at UCLA under Jim Mora Jr. in 2017, Fraley went to the NFL to become the Detroit Lions assistant OL coach (2018-19) before he was promoted to offensive line coach in 2020 where he has remained since.

Aaron Glenn has five head-coaching interviews scheduled for the coming days. But one of those will not be with the New England Patriots.

Jahmyr Gibbs had 170 scrimmage yards and a career-high four touchdowns in the Detroit Lions' 31-9 win over the Minnesota Vikings.

After the report came out, Bears' quarterback Caleb Williams conducted a press conference to wrap up his rookie season in the NFL. He was asked about Johnson, and the quarterback gave an honest answer. Williams got a sideline view of Johnson's offense for two games this season.

Home games against the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburg Steelers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers highlight the Lions' 2025 schedule. In addition to hosting NFC North rivals Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings, the Lions will welcome in the Cowboys, Buccaneers (NFC South champions), Steelers, New York Giants and Cleveland Browns.
