Bears head coach Ben Johnson decided to flex after his team’s 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.
And the Chicago players went crazy.
Before giving a victory chant to his team following the win, Johnson, 39, ripped his pullover off and started to flex his muscles for the players in the huddle, prompting screams in support from the Bears’ players.
There were also stakes behind Johnson taking his shirt off, with Chicago street food stand “The Wieners Circle” promising free hot dogs if the Bears coach were to take off his shirt following any win this year.
“I know you guys are hungry for more, right? Let me tell you something … the city of Chicago’s hungry too,” Johnson said to his players just before taking off his shirt.
The food stand also responded to the affair with a post on X, promising customers free hot dogs on Tuesday.
The Bears’ victory over Philadelphia on Friday marked their ninth win of the season and their fifth in a row.
Running backs D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai led the Bears’ offense with 255 combined rushing yards, with each of them having a touchdown as well.
“It’s just a testament to who we are, how we practice, how we play,” Chicago quarterback Caleb Williams said postgame on the Prime Video broadcast. “We have two great backs, and we have a hell of an offensive line, whether it’s pass blocking or running the ball.

“They’re a powerful, cohesive group. I love those guys up front; they deserve all the credit and all the love for every single game we play.”
Monangai, who was drafted in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, is the only rookie to have multiple games with over 100 rushing yards this season after leading the game with 130 on Friday.
“As soon as I was drafted, I felt the love from the city of Chicago and how much they love this team,” Monangai said. “Being 9-3 and being able to for the city, it means a lot.”
