Ben Johnson faces first career-defining test against Matt LaFleur and Packers

When Ben Johnson was hired and introduced as the new head coach of the Chicago Bears, he made quite a first impression.

He took a subtle jab at Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, saying he enjoyed beating him twice a year. His bravado signaled that the NFC North rivalry, which had been lopsided, would carry a new edge under his leadership.

Now, he and the Bears head to Lambeau Field in Week 14, where the majority of the country will be watching this massive showdown. Not only is the NFC North lead on the line, but the top seed in the NFC as well.
