Why did Ben Johnson say yes to the Bears? + Inside Washington’s shock playoff run

The Chicago Bears wasted no time on Monday, signing Ben Johnson as their new head coach two days after the Lions lost their playoff game to the Commanders. Dianna Russini and Chase Daniel react to breaking news by sharing what they’re hearing about why Johnson, long one of the most sought-after coaching prospects in the league, took the job. They also break down what the Johnson hire means for all the other dominoes that might fall in this year’s hiring spree, including the openings in Dallas and New Orleans. Then they share what the results of the divisional round mean for the future of the league and how the Ravens and Lamar Jackson chart a path forward after their loss to the Bills. Plus, NBC Sports Washington and 106.7 The Fan’s JP Finlay joins the show to share the scoop on how the Commanders rallied behind Jayden Daniels and Dan Quinn to reach Washington’s first NFC championship game since 1991.
