Matthew Golden responds to Cairo Santos’ cheap shot attempt during Packers-Bears game
Golden brushed off the sideline exchange after finishing with a career-high 123 receiving yards in Green Bay’s 31-7 win, according to postgame comments.
- Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden shrugged off a sideline incident during Sunday's game at Lambeau Field, where he knocked over a Chicago Bears staff member while returning a 17-yard punt.
- Tempers have remained at a boiling point in the NFL's oldest rivalry since the Bears' Wild Card victory last year, with players openly expressing disdain for each other throughout the offseason.
- Golden posted a career-high 123 receiving yards as the Packers crushed their NFC North rivals 31-7, though Bears kicker Cairo Santos missed a field goal while trailing 20-7 in the second half.
- Dismissing the confrontation after the game, Golden said: "I ain't got nothing to say to him." The incident had gone largely unnoticed until postgame comments became public.
- Looking toward Week 6, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported "all signs point" to Caleb Williams returning for the Bears' game in Atlanta before the teams meet again on Christmas Day.
