""F--- the Packers," Johnson said in the video. "F--- them. F------ hate those guys.""
""There's a rivalry that exists between these two teams, something that I fully recognize and I'm a part of," Johnson said. "And, yeah, I just, I don't like that team. So George and I have talked, and we're on the same page.""
""This is a rivalry," Johnson said Monday. "(And (for) the city of Chicago, Green Bay -- it needs to be a rivalry.)""
Ben Johnson declined to apologize for his reaction to the Bears' wild-card victory over the Green Bay Packers, including a drive-by handshake with Matt LaFleur and an expletive-filled locker-room outburst. He said the rivalry between Chicago and Green Bay necessitates intensity and repeatedly expressed personal dislike for the Packers. Video of the celebration went viral after the team released it. Bears chairman George McCaskey publicly supported Johnson and indicated they are on the same page about the rivalry. Johnson identified only one regret: a pregame skirmish after a punt that required officials to separate players.
