Jeffery Simmons Had Hilarious Reaction to This Ben Johnson Tradition

Things have been different lately for Jeffery Simmons ever since he joined the Chicago Bears from the Tennessee Titans. 

For one, he is now on a winning team that is pushing for a playoff spot. The Bears are 7-2 after beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. Since the Minnesota Vikings lost on Monday Night Football to the Buffalo Bills, the Bears now have the top spot in the NFC North. 

It's safe to say that he's in a much better position than he was with the Titans. The Titans are 1-7 and currently dead last in the AFC South. Tennessee has the No. 2 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft as it stands. 

It definitely took Simmons some getting used to, going from a struggling franchise to a contender. There was one tradition at the Bears that Simmons had no idea about. 

Simmons made an appearance on "The Rich Eisen Show" and shared a funny story from his first experience with an infamous Ben Johnson tradition. 

After every win, Johnson will do his typical "good, better, best" chant. Simmons had no idea what was going on and asked Montez Sweat about it. 

"I also asked my teammate, Montez, 'What are we about to do? Like, what is it? What do we say?'" Simmons said. "He's like, 'Just follow along.' I'm like, 'How am I supposed to follow along if I don't know what to say?' Like, what do you mean? That's Montez. He'll say some stuff. I'm like, bro, what do you mean? How am I supposed to follow along if I don't know what to say? Bro, what was it that he was saying? It's kinda fast. Everybody's loud. I really didn't hear it exactly. I heard some of the words, but I didn't hear exactly what it was. But me being me, I'm like, I can't get caught being like this again. Me, I know the camera was definitely on me. I picked up on it."  

It seems that Simmons is still adjusting to the traditions that Johnson has in place. 

The defensive tackle has played in two games for the Bears since being traded and hasn't missed a beat. He has recorded two sacks, 10 total tackles and four TFLs. 

Simmons and the Bears are enjoying the bye week, with many players getting some much-needed rest. Kyle Monangai and Dayo Odeyingbo are on the brink of a return from injury. 

Monangai has been dealing with turf toe, while Odeyingbo has been out with a quadriceps injury. 

The Bears' next game will be against the New Orleans Saints in Week 11. The Bears faced them last year, but things were different. Spencer Rattler was the starting quarterback instead of Tyler Shough. 

Shough won the starting job from Rattler two games later. Shough is approaching his career highs in passing yards and touchdowns ahead of the Bears matchup. 

He has 1,986 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and six interceptions. 

The Bears may not have faced Shough last year, but Simmons did when he was still with the Titans. The Saints won a 34-26 shootout with the Titans on the road. 

Shough had 333 passing yards and two touchdowns in the win. 

One thing is for certain; the Bears will be a tougher challenge than the Titans. We'll see how Shough handles Simmons and the Bears' defense next Sunday.
