New Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson says he enjoyed beating Packers' Matt LaFleur twice a year as Lions offensive coordinator

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur probably didn't plan to spend a lot of time watching Ben Johnson's introductory press conference as the Chicago Bears' new head coach on Wednesday.

But by the time Johnson threw some shade at him, you can bet LaFleur was tuning in.

Johnson, hired by the Bears after six years in various offensive coaching roles with the Detroit Lions, acknowledged how he's staying in a division with elite coaches.

"Dan Campbell, Kevin O'Connell, talking about two guys who are up for Coach of the Year awards as the season ends here," Johnson said.
