AutoDraft Pro AI

Detroit Lions OC Ben Johnson had a brief postgame handshake with Packers coach Matt LaFleur after Green Bay's win over the Bears. This interaction followed Johnson's past comments about 'enjoying beating Matt LaFleur twice a year' as Lions offensive coordinator. Johnson, however, was complimentary of the Packers and the reinvigorated rivalry, stating he loves it for their guys and that 'this is what the football gods made football to be.' The teams are set to meet again in two weeks.
