Bears WR Luther Burden claps back at Packers LB Zaire Franklin

Bears wide receiver Luther Burden responded to Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin who said Burden "quit" in Chicago's loss to Green Bay.

On Sunday, the Chicago Bears faced a 31-7 defeat against the Green Bay Packers, marking their third game without starting quarterback Caleb Williams. Wide receiver Luther Burden III was a primary target for quarterbacks Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum. Despite a disappointing day for the team, Burden managed four receptions for 47 yards on six targets.

However, Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin criticized Burden, saying: "He quit today. He didn't wanna play no more." In response, Burden, known for his confrontational nature, retorted on social media, stating: "Tell bro stop clout chasin me." Burden's remarks come after a discussion before the game where he expressed the Bears' strong desire to defeat the Packers and make them give up, which likely influenced Franklin's choice of words.
