Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson’s Takes Off Shirt For a Good Cause

Some coaches give you a pat on the back. Others might offer a gruff, “Good game.” Then there’s Ben Johnson, the Chicago Bears’ rookie head coach, who celebrates a massive road win by ripping his shirt off like he’s auditioning for a WWE main event. And honestly? The city of Chicago is here for all of it.

After the Bears manhandled the Philadelphia Eagles in a 24-15 Black Friday beatdown, Johnson turned the locker room into his personal stage. Following his now-famous ‘good, better, best’ speech, he tore off his Bears polo, flexed for his roaring team, and cemented his status as a certified legend. It was raw, it was hilarious, and it was the kind of unfiltered emotion that has been missing from this franchise for far too long.

The celebration wasn’t just for the players. Thanks to a wild promise from The Wieners Circle, a legendary Chicago hot dog joint, Johnson’s glorious, shirtless moment earned the entire city free hot dogs. Yes, you read that right. A coach’s post-game antics fed the masses. If that’s not leadership, I don’t know what is.

Johnson: More Than Just An Offensive Guru

When Johnson came over from Detroit, everyone knew he was a brilliant play-caller. The guy could scheme up an offense in his sleep. But the big question was, could he lead? Could this X’s and O’s wizard connect with a locker room and command respect? After seeing him celebrate like a fan who just won the lottery, any doubts have been obliterated.

In just 13 weeks, Johnson has completely flipped the script in Chicago. This isn’t the same old Bears team stumbling its way through a season. With a 9-3 record and a five-game winning streak, the Bears are officially playoff contenders, securing their first winning season since 2018. The “Club Dub” era under Matt Nagy had its moments, but this feels different. This feels authentic.

The team is feeding off Johnson’s energy. They’re playing with a swagger and confidence that starts at the top. From Caleb Williams making clutch plays to the defense smothering opponents, every unit is firing on all cylinders. This is what happens when a team fully buys into its coach, not just his playbook, but his entire persona.

So go ahead, Bears fans. Enjoy those free hot dogs. You’ve earned them, and you have a shirtless, screaming, and winning head coach to thank for it.
