Bears Coach Ben Johnson's Unapologetic Victory Dance
In a typical post-game press conference, Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson is reserved. However, in the locker room after Sunday's thrilling 47-42 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, he was anything but subdued. Johnson huddled his team together and led them in a rousing cheer, complete with the familiar "Good, Better, Best" chant.
Johnson was not one to mince words about the grueling path to victory. The Bears had blown a 14-point lead in the final two minutes, only to come from behind to claim the win. Yet, Johnson refused to apologize for the outcome, instead choosing to focus on the team's overall progress. "I know it wasn't pretty," he said, "but don't apologize for a win in this league."
The Bengals' defense has been one of the worst in the NFL this season, allowing an unprecedented 260 passing yards and 160 rushing yards per game. But Johnson was not intimidated by their weakness. Instead, he praised his team's resilience and ability to overcome adversity.
"I think there's something to be said when a group of men are all believing the same thing, they're saying the same thing," Johnson said. "It's one heartbeat, one voice, and I think our guys have enjoyed it."
The Bears' victory has lifted them to 5-3 on the season, putting them in third place in the NFC North, just behind the Packers (5-2-1) and Lions (5-3). The Vikings are trailing at 4-4.
Johnson's unapologetic approach to the game is not only a testament to his coaching philosophy but also a reflection of his team's growth and maturity. As he said, "If it is close in the fourth quarter, you better watch out."

! He’s all about keeping it real, even when things get tough. The way he talks about his team's resilience and ability to overcome adversity is super refreshing 
. I mean, can you blame him for being proud of a win, especially one that came from behind? It shows his guys have some serious heart 
. And let’s be honest, the Bengals’ defense has been struggling all season 
. The Bears didn’t exactly play pretty football, but they got the W and that's what matters 
. I think more coaches should take a page out of Coach Johnson’s book – stay confident, stay proud, and always keep pushing forward 
!
So I think Coach Johnson is kinda awesome, he's all about the win and isn't afraid to show it 
. Like, imagine being on that team and feeling like you're all in it together, you know? He's right, when everyone's on the same page, you can conquer anything 
! The Bears' resilience is definitely inspiring, and I'm loving their progress so far 
.
. Still proud of them for not giving up 
. But at the same time, I do think he's being a bit chill about letting his team know that getting out- Scored 14 points in the final two minutes is basically impossible to ignore 
. It might've been close, but it was still a tough win for them.
I gotta say, Coach Johnson's victory dance was pretty epic 
! But what really caught my attention was how unapologetic he was about their performance. Like, who else is gonna own up to blowing a 14-point lead and just shrug it off? 
It shows that he's got confidence in his team's abilities and isn't afraid to show it.
.
Coach Ben Johnson is definitely a breath of fresh air, you know? The way he owns that victory dance and doesn't apologize for one bit is so refreshing. I mean, come on, if your team comes from behind to win, you've got to be proud of it! 
. I mean, who needs subtlety when you can just scream from the rooftops "WE WON, BABY!"? 
The Bengals defense has been a joke this season, so I'm not gonna lie and say Johnson was intimidated. Bring on the next game!
