The head coaches of the NFL’s most heated rivals barely broke stride in the moments after Sunday’s 28-21 Packers win at Lambeau Field, slowing their jogs to three quick walking steps to give each other a passing handshake.
The Bears’ Ben Johnson and the Packers’ Matt LaFleur said they’d see each other in two weeks at Soldier Field.
What was left unsaid was what already stoked the rivalry — Johnson declared in January that he enjoyed beating LaFleur twice a year as an assistant coach, a shot that LaFleur found odd coming from someone he didn’t know well.
