Down 27-24 with 2:02 remaining in the fourth quarter, the Bears were set to kick off to the Vikings. Coach Johnson said after the game that they considered an onside kick, but instead opted to kick the ball out of the back of the end zone. Yet, Cairo Santos failed to do so!

Many on social media skewered Johnson in his Bears coaching debut for not having his kicker boot the ball out of bounds to preserve the valuable two seconds before the two-minute warning, thus gaining essentially another timeout, or at least trying for an onside kick.

The Chicago Bears lost Ben Johnson's head coaching debut in disappointing fashion, as the team saw a 17-6 fourth quarter lead slip through its grasp en route to the J.J. McCarthy-led Vikings storming back to seize victory on Monday night.
