The Chicago Bears kicked off the start of the Matt Eberflus and Ryan Poles era with a 19-10 upset win over a talented San Francisco 49ers squad.
The celebration started on the rain-soaked field and carried over into the locker room, where Chicago is riding the high of starting the season 1-0.
The Bears Twitter account shared a look at the scene in the locker room after the team’s huge win, which included a lot of celebrating and Matt Eberflus’ postgame speech to the team.
Bears quarterback Justin Fields, who threw for two touchdowns in the second half, handed out game balls to Eberflus and general manager Ryan Poles, and it was a really cool moment.
“The first W of many,” as Fields said.
