Bears tight end Martellus Bennett calls Rams 'Seattle's little brother'

ST. LOUIS -- Chicago Bears tight end Martellus Bennett did not hide his disdain for the St. Louis Rams following the Bears' 37-13 victory Sunday.

"I consider St. Louis to be Seattle's little brother," Bennett said on Comcast SportsNet Chicago's postgame show. "So it's a bunch of front-runners. No. 97 [right defensive end Eugene Sims] is a little b----. So overall, I was happy just to go out there and kick their ass."

Bennett caught three passes for 18 yards in the winning effort.

Bad blood has existed between the Bears and Rams in recent years. In their 2013 meeting, Bears offensive lineman Kyle Long received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after he incited a scuffle by kicking St. Louis defensive end William Hayes.

One week ago, Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Zimmer accused the Rams and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams of taking a cheap shot at Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater that left Bridgewater with a concussion.
