The Green Bay Packers secured a playoff berth with an 11-5 record but face a concerning trend: losses against top NFC teams. Despite their victory against the Minnesota Vikings, the Packers remain winless against the NFC's heavyweights. As the team prepares for the playoffs, coach Matt LaFleur acknowledges the need to improve their performance against elite competition, emphasizing the importance of starting strong and maintaining intensity throughout the game.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers are 11-5 and headed to the playoffs, though you wouldn’t know it after yet another big-game loss.
Since their bye, the Bears are 0-10. If Packers coach Matt LaFleur can improve to 12-0 against Chicago, it would extend the Bears’ losing streak to a single-season record 11 consecutive games. It’s one thing to have ice water in your veins. It’s quite another to have ice water in your urine. For some reason, the Packers have not been prepared for the intensity of the moment against elite teams.“There was a lot to clean up,” he said.
Moreover, it’s always smart to draft a year in advance. After the 2025 season, Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson will be free agents. The Packers need to select cornerbacks early and often in the upcoming draft. On Sunday, Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold threw for a career-high 377 yards. He threw three touchdown passes in both games against Green Bay.
