Ben Johnson and Matt LaFleur had another interesting postgame interaction after Saturday’s wild game at Soldier Field.

Two weeks after the Packers narrowly escaped Lambeau Field with a 28-21 win over their archrivals. But on Saturday night, the Bears stunned the Packers with 16 unanswered points to win a thriller in overtime.

You may recall that Ben Johnson and Matt LaFleur had a short-and-not-so-sweet postgame handshake two weeks ago. It was more of the same on Saturday night:

During his Bears introductory press conference in January, Johnson memorably said he likes “beating Matt LaFleur twice a year.” Johnson was referencing the success his Detroit Lions had over the Packers while he was their offensive coordinator.

LaFleur clearly hasn’t forgotten any of that. And he obviously wishes not to be friendly with the rookie head coach of his archenemy team. But hey, it only adds more fuel to an already fiery rivalry.

The Bears are now 11-4, while the Packers dropped to 9-5-1. All Chicago needs now is one more win or another Packers loss to secure the division crown.
