Ben Johnson's perfect Bears locker room celebration was two months in the making

Remember two months ago when The Wieners Circle restaurant promised free hot dogs to the city of Chicago if Bears head coach Ben Johnson took his shirt off? That dream seemed like it was never going to happen. Until now.

The Bears got a defining 24-15 win over the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles that put Chicago at 9-3, in first place in the NFC North, and officially in a fight with the Los Angeles Rams for first place in the NFC. After the game, there were a lot of smiling faces, but not one as big as Johnson's.

Once Johnson finished giving out game balls, arguably the greatest moment in Chicago sports history occurred when the head coach said, "Chicago is hungry." He took off his hat, went crazy with his shirt off, and said they're hungry for hot dogs. Johnson, of course, finished with his now-famous "Good, Better, Best" speech.

Chicago is buzzing after seeing their head coach going shirtless

After the moment happened, The Weiners Circle stuck to their word and made sure the city knows free hot dogs are coming to them on Tuesday.

"Is this real life, or is the just fantasy?! Free hot dogs again Tuesday m*********s!"

While speaking with the media, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was asked if Johnson went shirtless. With a smile on his face, Williams answered the $1 million question everyone needed to know.

"He did take his shirt off. He's a man of the people, let's say that."

It was a game the Bears needed to stay in pace for the top seed in the NFC and keep ahead of the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions in the NFC North. More importantly, it's a momentum booster for the rest of the season and a statement to the rest of the NFL that they are for real.
