The post Bears' Ben Johnson trolled by Eagles insider after Steelers execute fake Tush Push to perfection appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Chicago Bears and Pittsburgh Steelers have been engaged in a back-and-forth battle. But with a big play on fourth down, the Steelers got to poke some fun at Bears head coach Ben Johnson .
Well, it was more Eagles fans who got the last laugh. Johnson famously noted his distaste for the Tush Push, calling it an un-explosive play. The Steelers proved that take wrong as Kenneth Gainwell broke off a big gain to the one-yard line. Jimmy Kempski of the Philly Voice used it as an opportunity to take a shot at Johnson.
The Steelers would score one play later on a Jaylen Warren rush, taking a 21-14 lead at the time. However, it has been all Bears since, as Chicago holds a 31-21 lead with under 10 minutes remaining in the game.
Pittsburgh's run game hasn't really been the issue. They've run for 164 yards and two touchdown, averaging 5.9 yards per carry. However, the same can't be said for quarterback Mason Rudolph . He has completed 15-of-18 passes for 115 yards and an interception. He also lost a fumble that turned into a scoring drive for the Bears.
Rudolph was thrown into the spotlight based on the wrist injury to Aaron Rodgers . He pushed to play , but was unable to go. The Steelers were expected a bit more from their backup and are hopeful he can turn things around down the stretch.
As for Johnson, he'll take on any jokes if it leads to a win. Who knows, maybe he'll at it to his arsenal. Johnson and the Bears will have an opportunity to send a direct shot to the Eagles in Week 13.
