The Chicago Bears might just be the hottest team in all of football right now. They’ve just beaten the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles, handily, in their own house.

The Bears have now won nine of their last ten and find themselves in the 2nd seed of the NFC. With many criticizing the Bears’ strength of schedule, they’ve done nothing but handle what’s been put in front of them.

This win against Philadelphia was Chicago’s statement win. A statement that they are serious this season. A large part of this transformation can be attributed to the newly established culture of Ben Johnson.

His postgame ‘Good, Better, Best’ speeches have become a staple of their wins. After the win against the Eagles, he made it abundantly clear how hyped he was.

Johnson loses his top in postgame speech

When the Bears win, Ben Johnson conducts the team through a ‘Good, Better, Best’ speech that he picked up from his high school program, A.C. Reynolds.

The speech goes, “Good, better best...Never let it rest…until your good gets better, and your better gets best!"

This week, the statement win created a high intensity energy to begin with, but once Johnson popped off his shirt, the hype was palpable. He even benefited the city of Chicago in the process.

The Weiners Circle in Chicago promised free hot dogs for the city if Ben Johnson took his shirt off after any Bears victory this season. Johnson came up clutch for the city just like he has been all season.

Something special is going on in Chicago this season. Even if they don’t win the Super Bowl, it's going to be a fun ride regardless.
