Now that you've finished laughing at the Chicago Bears this week, can I interest you in laughing some more at the Bears this week?
I know the bar is high. I promise I know that. When there's just so much laughable Bears content out there, it's important that anything added to the lore is worthwhile. I mean, the Bears should have won on Sunday and then remembered that they were the Bears just in time; their comedic timing is hard to follow up.
It's a job I take very seriously, and it's why I think I have the next great submission: Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs openly making fun of the Bears' best player.

Sometime in the middle of their game on Sunday, Jacobs came barreling down the sideline towards Jaylon Johnson. And, in a moment of pure Packers bliss, he looked up, (presumably) made eye contact with Johnson, and actively asked to be tackled. I'm not joking.
You'll watch the video in roughly 50 words and see for yourself. It is arguably the best non-field goal related moment from yesterday's win. It's also a wonderful metaphor, and we love it when art imitates life. There's an undeniable poeticism to it. See for yourself.

This video of Jacobs quite literally telling Johnson to come hit him on a run is making the rounds on Twitter, and you can understand why. It absolutely rules. It's the Bears Win Victory Lap that we all deserved. More mid-play trash talk, please. What is the point of watching football if not to see your favorite team's players openly make fun of your least favorite team's players? That's real ball.
It's also an extremely cornerback tackle from Johnson, so it's not all that surprising to see Jacobs comfortably bounce off him and continue running for two or three more yards. This should just be Jacobs' bit going forward – every time he gets around the edge, he needs to immediately find the closest cornerback, taunt him, and then run over him.
That's how the Packers make a run this winter – by trolling other team's secondaries. Maybe don't do it to the defensive linemen though.
