“What stays behind closes doors I’ll keep between us, but we don’t like to tolerate that s**t,” Dennis-Sutton said, according to Vince Lovergine. “It was a great game and glad we won.”
His response suggested the comments surrounding the rivalry had not gone unnoticed inside the Packers’ locker room. However, Dennis-Sutton declined to reveal exactly what was discussed privately.
The tension between LaFleur and Johnson has attracted attention since Johnson became Chicago’s head coach. His earlier remarks about beating LaFleur provided added context for the buildup to Sunday’s divisional showdown.

The result also followed pre-game comments from Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin about the rivalry’s bad blood. For Dennis-Sutton, the victory appeared to settle matters without requiring further explanation. His blunt comments nevertheless showed how seriously Green Bay approached the matchup against its longtime rival.
