Despite a disappointing 2024 season, the Chicago Bears were able to put an exclamation point on the year with a 24-22 win over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. It snapped an 11-game losing streak against the Packers and marked the Bears' first win in Green Bay since 2015.
But the rivalry continued into the offseason between Chicago and Green Bay's head coaches. During his introductory press conference, Bears head coach Ben Johnson took a shot at Packers head coach Matt LaFleur, saying he enjoys beating him twice a year, dating back to his time as offensive coordinator with the Detroit Lions.
