Bears Stun Eagles to Reach 9-3 as Ben Johnson Goes Shirtless, Triggering Free-Hot-Dog Tuesday

The stunt fulfilled The Wieners Circle’s social pledge for a citywide giveaway, echoing a September promo that drew hours-long lines.

Overview

  • Chicago beat the defending champion Eagles 24-15 on Black Friday at Lincoln Financial Field to notch a fifth straight win and their best start since 2010.
  • During the postgame “Good, Better, Best” locker-room chant, head coach Ben Johnson removed his shirt, satisfying the hot-dog stand’s winning poll choice from October.
  • The Wieners Circle announced on X that it will give away free hot dogs on Tuesday after Johnson’s shirtless celebration.
  • The hot-dog stand previously delivered a similar giveaway after Caleb Williams’ four-touchdown game in September, when fans queued for hours.
  • Williams called Johnson “a man of the people,” as video of the celebration spread widely on social platforms.
