Ben Johnson set off absolute chaos inside the Chicago Bears’ locker room after their 24–15 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The head coach shocked everyone when he chose to celebrate the team’s ninth victory of the season in a completely unexpected way. After addressing his players, he suddenly did something that triggered screams, laughter, and wild reactions across the room.
The 39-year-old coach delivered a powerful speech moments before the scene exploded. Chicago entered the locker room riding a five-game winning streak. Energy was overflowing. Then came the most surprising moment of the night. Johnson marked the occasion by ripping off his jersey and flexing in front of the team. The players erupted instantly.
The move wasn’t entirely spontaneous. There were outside bets involved. The famous Chicago food stand The Wieners Circle had promised free hot dogs if Johnson ever took off his shirt after a win. That playful challenge fueled the pregame atmosphere. The celebration grew even louder when the restaurant confirmed on X that it would honor the offer the following Tuesday.

According to New York Post, in the middle of the celebration, Johnson delivered another motivational message that lifted the team even higher. “I know you’re hungry for more, right? Let me tell you something… the city of Chicago is hungry too,” he said before removing his jersey. The moment instantly went viral, and fans praised the coach’s energy and leadership.

The Bears played a solid game against Philadelphia. D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai powered the ground attack with a combined 255 rushing yards. Both running backs scored a touchdown. Swift added speed. Monangai added power. The rookie, drafted in the seventh round in 2025, continues to impress. He is already the only rookie with multiple 100-yard rushing games this season, after adding 130 more yards on Friday.
Quarterback Caleb Williams also spoke following the victory. “It’s just a testimony to who we are, how we practice, how we play,” he told Prime Video. He praised his running backs and his offensive line. “They’re a powerful, cohesive group. I love those guys up front; they deserve all the credit and all the love for every game we play.”
The mood inside the team is at its best. Johnson’s moment has become a symbol of unity. The Bears aren’t just winning. They’re enjoying every step of the journey. Their head coach embodies the identity of a team that has found rhythm, confidence, and momentum.
