One of the most bitter rivalries in the NFL exists in the NFC North between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. Much trash talk has existed between the two franchises over the years, and Bears defensive lineman Justin Jones recently added fuel to the fire by brutally blasting Packers fans.
Jones didn’t mince words about his opinion of Packers fans, calling them “obnoxious” and even saying that their knowledge of football is lacking.
“Their fans are really bad. I wanted to go back up there and I wanted to play them and I wanted to beat them and I wanted him to be there so he could see it. The fact that he’s gone, it’s cool. I guess it’s better for him not to be here. But yeah, man, I’m ready to take it over. It’s a good time to be a Bear fan. I’m not even going to lie to you.
“They’re obnoxious,” Jones added. “Just yelling and all that other stuff about things that don’t even matter. Like, we’re not even running a play, and you guys are talking about, ‘Oo oh yeah, go Green Bay.’ Like, what are you even talking about? The game hasn’t started yet. Like, what are we talking about? Half of them don’t even know football. It’s so weird to me.”
Packers fans didn’t exactly take this criticism too well, blasting Jones on social media in response.

The #Bears have 1 win against the #Packers since Justin Jones has been in the NFL.
Green Bay was +36 last year in 2 games against Jones and the Bears during one of the worst Packers seasons of the last 20 years.
If he feels good about the way CHI "handled" Rodgers then LOL

When he says "we" played pretty well, he means literally anyone else. He was the lowest graded player on the entire defense with a 38.0 grade. He was hot garbage.
Here's the reality though. Rodgers, Love, Clifford, or Jim from the stands, it doesn't matter who the Packers QB is,… https://t.co/BtKhJAmTJ0
