There have been a lot of coaches given their first chance at being the head guy who have not worked. Then there is what is going on with Green Bay and Matt LaFleur.
The Packers downed the Saints, 37-30, Sunday night in New Orleans. That upped their mark to 3-0 in 2020. Tack on a 13-3 regular season in LaFleur’s rookie year and you have a sweet 16-3 record.

The key has to have been the chemistry he has worked out with Aaron Rodgers. There were all sorts of buzz about how unhappy the great QB was when Jordan Love was drafted in the first round.
Buzz silenced as Rodgers continues his elite play and the Packers are maintaining the high level that had left the organization at the end of Mike McCarthy’s run.
FINAL: The @packers move to 3-0 on Sunday Night Football! #GoPackGo #GBvsNO
