As offensive coordinator in Detroit, Ben Johnson and the Lions swept the Packers in 2022 and again in 2024. He is taking over a Bears roster that is “stocked and loaded.”

The Chicago Bears media got a chance to be introduced to new head coach Ben Johnson. While doing so, Johnson made a comment that’s sure to end up as bulletin board material inside the Green Bay Packers’ locker room. “To be quite frank with you, I kinda enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year.” BEN JOHNSON COMIN’ IN HOT pic.twitter.com/vBxiEriFRk

Perhaps it was no surprise that he would come in hot in his first press conference as the Bears' head coach. He was just hoping for a better outcome when he made a joke about Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. "To be quite frank with you, I kind of enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year,” Johnson said with a smirk on his face.
