Packers star calls Bears coach Ben Johnson a 'troll' for his profane outburst
The Chicago Bears beat the Green Bay Packers 31-27 after a massive 4th quarter comeback. Colin Cowherd gives Caleb Williams credit for leading the Bears back from being down 21-3.
While the game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers ended on Saturday, the war of words has continued in the following days.
The Bears pulled off a remarkable 31-27 victory in the NFC wild-card round, taking down their bitter rivals, and have made their disdain for the Packers well-known. In the locker room after the game, head coach Ben Johnson made no secret about his feelings.
"Man, f--- the Packers! F--- them! F---ing hate those guys!" Johnson roared into a jubilant Bears locker room.

Packers star safety Xavier McKinney called Johnson a "troll" for his comments.
"He’s a troll," McKinney said. "So it’s cool. I’m just not a troll. So I don’t know, that’s just him. But he’s a hell of a coach, though."
Johnson doubled down on his postgame remarks on Monday.
"There’s a rivalry that exists between these two teams," Johnson said. "Something that I fully recognize and I’m a part of. I just don’t like that team."

Johnson said he even talked with team owner George McCaskey about it, and the coach said the owner is on the same page.
"This is a rivalry and, city of Chicago, Green Bay, it needs to be a rivalry," Johnson said.
