The Chicago Bears are ecstatic after winning their fifth straight game and improving to 9-3 on the season. Head coach Ben Johnson's reaction following their victory against the Philadelphia Eagles showed as much.

Johnson guided his Bears to a 24-15 win over the Eagles, with quarterback Caleb Williams throwing for 154 yards and one touchdown on 17-of-36 passing. Running backs Kyle Monangai and D'Andre Swift both scored rushing touchdowns to keep the team ahead from start to finish.

Chicago moved up to second in the NFC standings with the win and gave themselves a legitimate shot at claiming the top seed. Only the 9-2 Los Angeles Rams are ahead of them in the conference standings.

Naturally, the whole team was hyped up after the win. The Bears have not made the playoffs since the 2020 season, but now, they are really close to making it.

Johnson, for his part, didn't hide his delight. The first-year head coach even went viral as he took his shirt off and shouted in celebration while being surrounded by his players.

The NFL posted a video of the moment, which quickly went viral. It generated 2 million views in less than two hours after it was posted, all while drawing hundreds of reactions.

"That’s my COACH!" a commenter wrote. Another one said, "Their lockeroom vibes have been hilarious this year."

"This dude is electric.. I hate that I’m starting to like the @ChicagoBears man," a fan added.

"Chuck Norris calls Ben Johnson when he needs help," a supporter joked.

A follower stated, "Coach Ben out here looking like he runs a startup, not a playbook."

"WE ARE SO BACK!!!!" a sixth poster remarked.

For what it's worth, Williams also reacted to Johnson's shirtless moment in his postgame presser, with the Bears QB calling his coach "a man of the people."
