Philadelphia Eagles 15-24 Chicago Bears, NFL: Swift, Monangai Star In Bears' Victory
After beating the Eagles on the Super Bowl champions’ home turf, it was time for rookie Bears coach Ben Johnson to bare arms. Oh, and go bare-chested. Johnson tore off his shirt inside a jubilant locker room and flexed like a professional wrestler as the victorious Bears danced, hollered and chanted in a circle around him. “Good, better, best. Never let it rest till your good gets better and your better gets best,” the Bears and Johnson shouted. One of the surprise teams in the NFL, the Bears had every reason to go wild following a vintage rushing performance that echoed their famous Super Bowl-winning 1985 squad.
