The rivalry between the Green Bay Packers<\/a> and Chicago Bears heated up on Sunday as the two teams did battle in the fight for the NFC North title.<\/p>\n

The Packers were able to pull off a victory<\/a> against the Bears, 28-21. The win was followed by an icy handshake between Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and Bears head coach Ben Johnson at midfield as the final whistle blew.<\/p>\n

The exchange captured the attention of some NFL fans as they recalled what Johnson told reporters when he was introduced as the Bears\u2019 head coach back in January.<\/p>\n

“To be quite frank with you, I kinda enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year,” he said after coming over from the Detroit Lions where he worked as an offensive coordinator under Dan Campbell.<\/p>\n

Chicago had Green Bay on the edge. Packers running back Josh Jacobs<\/a> ran for a touchdown with 3:32 left in the game. Then, Bears quarterback Caleb Williams threw an interception in the end zone in the final moments.<\/p>\n

LaFleur ran onto the field to greet Johnson. The entire interaction lasted a few seconds. LaFleur was jubilant as soon as he made his way back to the locker room.<\/p>\n

“It was a quick handshake, and we\u2019ll see them again in 2 weeks,” LaFleur told reporters, downplaying any personal issues between him and Johnson.<\/p>\n

FOX broadcaster Tom Brady<\/a> offered his own opinion about the handshake.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m sure it was about as icy as the temperature,” Brady said after the game. “I think both teams had to go out and buy extra bulletin boards going into the week. There was a lot of material both ways.<\/p>\n

“You got coaches talking smack. I mean, the coaches are like, \u2018Hey guys, don\u2019t talk tonight.\u2019 Nah, they\u2019re like screw that, we\u2019re saying whatever we want \u2013 the two of them. Just the way it\u2019s gonna go. And those two young coaches are gonna be in these programs for a while. We\u2019re going to see some great matchups between these teams.”<\/p>\n

Green Bay owns the NFC North after the matchup with a 9-3-1 record. Chicago fell to 9-4.<\/p>\n

The two teams meet again in Week 16.<\/p>\n
