Another epic camera angle has surfaced of Saturday’s postgame handshake between Ben Johnson and Matt LaFleur.
Ben Johnson’s Chicago Bears pulled off a thrilling comeback win against Matt LaFleur’s Green Bay Packers in Saturday’s Wild Card Round showdown at Soldier Field. Chicago trailed 21-3 at halftime, but pulled off more late-game magic to win 31-27.
The Bears outscored Green Bay 28-6 in the final 30 minutes to win the franchise’s first playoff game in 15 years. In case you missed it, here was the short and not-so-sweet postgame handshake between Johnson and LaFleur:

You may recall that during his Bears’ introductory press conference, Johnson said he liked beating LaFleur twice a year. With Chicago winning the 2025 rubber match on the playoff stage, Johnson certainly backed up his words in style.
The Bears will host the Philadelphia Eagles or Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round next week.
