Overview
- After Chicago's wild-card win, Ben Johnson's team-posted locker-room clip featured an expletive-laden shot at the Packers and a curt handshake with Matt LaFleur.
- Asked this week about phoning LaFleur, Sean McVay smiled and said the Rams "watch the tape" and that LaFleur is "a very close friend."
- ESPN's Peter Schrager said McVay and coaches in his orbit took offense to Johnson's remarks and suggested McVay "wants to kick the snot out of" him.
- Johnson said he is not worried about information passing between Green Bay and Los Angeles, calling such conversations common across the league.
- The Rams visit Chicago on Sunday in the NFC divisional round, and the Rams' offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur is Matt LaFleur's younger brother.
