Bears QB Caleb Williams reacts to viral Ben Johnson moment after Eagles win

Caleb Williams did not even try to pretend it was normal seeing his head coach shirtless in the locker room after a grind-it-out win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

“He did take his shirt off. He’s a man of the people, let’s say that,” Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams told reporters when asked about Ben Johnson’s now-viral celebration following Chicago’s 24-15 Black Friday win in Philadelphia.

The Chicago Bears head coach ripped off his shirt and flexed in the middle of a dancing locker room, a bit of pro-wrestling energy that doubled as a marketing play. The Wieners Circle in Chicago had promised free hot dogs if Ben Johnson ever went shirtless after a win, and he happily cashed that in after the Bears’ fifth straight victory.

The celebration matched the stakes. Chicago moved to 9-3 with the win and stayed on top of the NFC North, while the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles fell to 8-4 and heard heavy boos at Lincoln Financial Field.

On the field, the Bears played throwback football. Running back Kyle Monangai rushed 22 times for 130 yards and a touchdown, and running back D’Andre Swift added 125 yards and a score on 18 carries. Chicago piled up 281 rushing yards as a team and outgained Philadelphia 425-317 overall via the ESPN Box Score, leaning on a line that mauled all night.

Williams did his part as a traffic cop. The rookie finished 17-of-36 for 154 yards with one touchdown and one interception, including a fourth-quarter strike to tight end Cole Kmet that helped slam the door.

Jalen Hurts threw for 230 yards and two touchdowns, both to A.J. Brown, but also tossed a pick and lost a fumble on the Eagles’ signature tush push, a rare crack in their short-yardage armor.
