Chicago Bears coach Ben Johnson intensifies Packers rivalry

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson has intensified the rivalry with the Green Bay Packers, openly stating his goal to defeat Packers head coach Matt LaFleur twice annually. This combative stance follows a period where Johnson led the Bears to two dramatic comeback victories over Green Bay, including a significant playoff loss for the Packers at Soldier Field.

In recent preseason action, assistant head coach and wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle El took over play-calling duties for the second half of the Bears' 34-10 victory over the Cleveland Browns. Under Randle El's direction, the offense produced 24 points, 235 yards, and 12 first downs. Head coach Johnson commended Randle El's performance and his ability to coordinate effectively with quarterbacks Case Keenum and Miller Moss.
