Former Chicago Bears RB throws gasoline on Ben Johnson, Packers rivalry
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson’s post-game handshake with Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, following an NFC Wild Card victory, sent shockwaves across the NFL.
It wasn’t even a handshake, really, with Johnson slapping hands with LaFleur as he didn’t even break stride on his way to a raucous home locker room after the Bears’ historic comeback victory over the Packers to advance to the NFC Divisional round.
But, Johnson’s “handshake” with LaFleur bookended a year that began with him extolling how much he enjoys beating LaFleur during his introductory press conference as Bears head coach, back in January, 2025.
Johnson, though, isn’t alone in his disdain for Green Bay.
Former Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte lets his Packers’ hate rip

It’s safe to say that former Bears running back Matt Forte has no love lost for the Packers, and is all-in on Johnson reigniting the rivalry.
“F’ em,” Forte gleefully exclaimed during an appearance on the Hoge and Jahns show. “Forget them. The fact that they were being all butthurt about it is hilarious to me. For years, y’all were on the winning side. Now the tide has turned. If you got a problem with it, do something about it.
“You come to Soldier Field, and you’re talking about you ‘own’ the Bears. Whatever. Talk your trash. You backed it up. Congratulations. The Bears are backing it up [now], and they kicked your butt. So Ben, talk your trash. I mean, it’s gotta be like that.”
The “F–the Packers” era of Bears football has officially arrived, and it’s being fueled by a head coach who isn’t afraid to let his disdain for Green Bay show.
With a playoff victory now in his back pocket, Johnson has turned a lopsided rivalry back into a street fight. For the first time in a while, the Bears are the ones dealing the knockout blows.
