'Lie!!,' Caleb Williams Jokingly Calls Out Ben Johnson After Bears HC's 3-Point Contest Comments

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson provided the opposite of motivation before Caleb Williams took part in the NBA's All-Star celebrity three-point contest.

Johnson divulged Tuesday he sent a meme of somebody repeatedly missing threes to Williams and "felt bad" when the second-year quarterback subsequently struggled.

Williams pushed back on the latter point:

Johnson doesn't have to worry about the Bears signal-caller quitting his day job anytime soon. Williams was the last-place finisher in the event with four points.

The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner didn't display a bad stroke for somebody who only plays basketball casually. He couldn't find the mark, though.

Johnson couldn't resist getting in another quip at Williams' expense:

We've certainly come a long way from training camp last year, when some people were already wondering whether Chicago's coach and quarterback were on the same page.
