If you’ve been a fan of the Bears at any point in time over the last, I don’t know, three decades or so, you probably haven’t enjoyed watching Bears-Packers. Aside from a few blip games here and there, Green Bay has been utterly dominant in the NFL’s oldest rivalry. (Note: The Bears haven’t beaten the Packers since December 2018.)
Now that star corner Jaylon Johnson is partly leading a new era in Chicago football, so far, it’s more same old, same old.
In a radio appearance with local Chicago sports radio station 670 The Score, Johnson had to wear a cheesehead during his conversation. Why, might you ask? Oh, he just a lost bet from when the Bears played and lost to the Packers in Week 2 of this season:

#Bears corner Jaylon Johnson (@NBAxJay1) lost a bet to a @packers fan and has to wear a cheesehead the whole duration of his interview with @DannyParkins & @MattSpiegel670.

It’s not clear what exactly the terms of Johnson’s bet were or who he made the bet with. (Note: He didn’t play in the latest matchup.) All that’s for certain is the awkward pain on his face — a feeling Bears fans are all familiar with whenever they see cheese and a green and gold football jersey.
