Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson was jubilant following his team’s comeback playoff victory over the Green Bay Packers on Saturday night, 31-27.
Johnson and the Bears’ players celebrated in the locker room as Johnson kicked off his postgame speech with an explicit message.
“F— the Packers!” Johnson said. “F— them! F—ing hate those guys.”
The rivalry between the Bears and Packers is certainly revved up. Johnson threw gasoline on the fire when he first joined the Bears when he was asked why he chose Chicago. He said he “kinda enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year.”
The message sparked a few icy handshakes during the season, including one after the playoff game. Chicago went 1-1 against Green Bay in the regular season and defeated them when it counted the most.
The first-year head coach praised his players for their gritty performance, coming off two losses and going into halftime down 21-3. Johnson said his team was “built for pressure.”
