Ben Johnson stuck to his word from 11 months ago after stunning win over Packers

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson was criticized for his comments that he made about the Green Bay Packers Matt LaFleur.

"To be quite frank with you, I kind of enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year."

Remember how those words echoed through the NFL and caused quite a stir with fans, especially those in Wisconsin? Well, some thought that wasn't going to be a smart thing to say, and it almost didn't happen.

It might have taken three games to do it, but Johnson is a man of his word and got the job done.
