Dancing Ben Johnson shows Bears players 'he’s just one of us'

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson has embraced celebratory dancing after victories, including performing the Stanky Legg following a Monday night win in Seattle. Players like receiver Rome Odunze noted that Johnson's willingness to let loose and celebrate shows the squad that he connects directly with them. The routine has since become a viral staple of the team's social media content.

Patrick Finley reports that Johnson maintains a sharp contrast between intense pregame isolation and enthusiastic postgame connection. Johnson entered a matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers needing just three more victories to establish the Bears franchise record for the most wins by a head coach across their first two seasons.
