We were interested to see what Johnson had in store for the postgame speech after the Bears' incredible Week 16 win over the Green Bay Packers in overtime and he didn't disappoint. There was no shirt removal this time around, but Johnson's speech was just as electric as ever. The Bears' win over the Packers on Saturday night was improbable, to say the least. Chicago was trailing 13-3 going into the fourth quarter and the offense was struggling all night long.

From there, the Bears needed to recover an onside kick, which has become nearly impossible in this day and age after the rules change. But the Bears recovered it and then drove down the field to tie the game and send it into overtime. After the Packers coughed up the football on their only drive of the extra period, the Bears went on to score the game-winning touchdown on a beautiful deep ball from quarterback Caleb Williams to wide receiver DJ Moore.
