There’s no love lost between Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur and Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson . That much was clear once again on Saturday night after the Bears knocked off the Packers 31-27.
The two coaches went to shake hands at midfield after a tense, back-and-forth game. LaFleur approached Johnson with his hand outstretched.
The Bears coach raced in but was very abrupt in shaking LaFleur’s hand before turning about 45 degrees and darting off. It was a very short handshake and the broadcast team calling the game for Amazon Prime instantly commented on it.
“That’s a very cursory handshake,” Mike Tirico said on the call. “No love lost between these two.”
You can view the handshake below. It includes audio of Tirico’s call.

Bears stage massive comeback vs. Packers
Matt LaFleur had plenty to take issue with on Saturday night after his team blew an 18-point lead in the contest. Green Bay led 21-3 at one point before eventually giving up a huge rally in the third and fourth quarter.
