With how average the Green Bay Packers have played to start the season, it's probably best for them not to come out and make any crazy comments about the Chicago Bears. 

The Bears aren't going to have their starting quarterback, Caleb Williams, against Green Bay in Week 5, though there's still an argument to be made that Ben Johnson and his great offensive mind are going to find a way to win games at a high level, as they were already able to do so with Williams out last week against the New York Jets.

Head coach Matt LaFleur said he didn't want to make any more comments about the Bears and their coaching staff. He wanted to focus on the players and was just looking forward to getting ready for this game. 

But in the Packers locker room, that wasn't the case.

“A lot of bad blood,” Zaire Franklin told reporters, per Vince Lovergine of Fox 11. “Nowadays most rivalries are on social media and the offseason you’re hanging out. I don’t think anybody wants to hang out with the Bears in the offseason.”

There's definitely a lot of bad blood between the Packers and the Bears. There's a strong argument that this is the biggest rivalry in football. With both teams having a chance to win the NFC North and reach the Super Bowl, this is perhaps the biggest game of Week 5.

If guys aren't ready to go on both sides, they're going to pay the price for it.
