The Green Bay Packers are still alive in the playoff conversation. The Jordan Love-led offense is coming off a big win against the Minnesota Vikings and looks to continue that. But with Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears also having big wins, he could be in some sort of danger.
With all that pressure, Matt LaFleur sent a stark message to his team as the season winds down, via Matt Schneidman of The Athletic . The Packers coach’s first thought was, “It doesn’t mean anything until we get to work next week.” Their postseason aspirations rest in the hands of Jordan Love, who must beat out Justin Fields for assists. .
The Bears averaged 6.0 yards per game for a total of 432 yards. The way to beat them is to jump over their offensive line and place defenders to cover or block. Otherwise, Fields can take off at any time and either reach the pocket or rush for a first down.
Matt LaFleur already has an offensive boost from the Packers. They crushed the Vikings for 470 total yards and 28 times in the end zone. They just need to hang in there and own this game. The Packers’ home crowd helps, too. All in all, even the boss knows their match will be a memorable slugfest. “I’m looking forward to playing at home against the Chicago Bears next Sunday.”They have a season ahead. Can Packer do it?
