The Green Bay Packers could not have asked for a better outing in their Week 1 matchup against their bitter rivals, the Chicago Bears. Green Bay poured it on against their opponents at Soldier Field, emerging with an impressive 38-20 victory in their first game in the post-Aaron Rodgers era.
One man who you can say for sure was absolutely elated by the win is David Bakhtiari.
Green Bay Packers Star David Bakhtiari Gives Bears Fans the Middle Finger
The two-time All-Pro tackle was up to his usual antics against Chicago — both during snaps and pretty much everything in between. A photo of Bakhtiari is currently making its rounds on social media, and in it, you can clearly see the type of savage stuff the 31-year-old dropped on Bears fans throughout the game:

Yup, that’s David Bakhtiari giving the home fans a massive “F You” using his middle finger. Based on how the other players in the photo are positioned, it appears that the All-Pro tackle made his highly disrespectful gesture right before a snap, too.

The Packers and the Bears have one of the most intense rivalries in all of the NFL, and you can clearly see Bakhtiari doing his bit to add more fuel to the burning flame. Let’s just say that this dude is not the most well-loved individual in Chicago at the moment. Far from it.
