Packers linebacker Zaire Franklin responded to pregame comments from Bears receiver Luther Burden following Green Bay's 31-7 victory at Lambeau Field. Burden had claimed earlier in the week that Chicago wanted to make the Packers quit, prompting Franklin to fire back postgame by asserting that Burden was the one who quit during the contest.
