Ben Johnson has become one of the best in the business at postgame speeches to his team, so we couldn't wait to see what he had in store after the Chicago Bears' incredible comeback win over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night.

A playoff win in and of itself is enough for a great postgame locker room speech, but there was a little extra juice following the contest on Saturday night, as the Bears pulled off a miraculous comeback to advance to the divisional round.

Not only did the Bears trail 21-3 at halftime after a dominant showing by Green Bay over the first two quarters, but they were also losing 21-6 going into the fourth quarter before scoring 25 points in the final frame to pull out a 31-27 victory.

Now, what you came for: Johnson's locker room speech.

Our only disappointment is Johnson didn't rip his shirt off and flex like he did after the Week 13 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, but the speech was still electric.

Johnson has done an incredible job in his first season with the Bears and should be among the leading candidates for Coach of the Year.

Not only did Chicago go 11-6 to win the NFC North and secure the No. 2 seed, but the Bears also saw a much-improved season from quarterback Caleb Williams, which was the most important box to check going into the season.

With the Bears already having far exceeded expectations this season, the playoff win is just the icing on the cake.

Chicago will be playing with house money from here on out, although you know fans don't see it that way.

Instead, Bears fans want more, and we don't blame them for it.
