Matt LaFleur sends serious message to Packers ahead of crucial Week 18 vs. Bears
The Green Bay Packers are still a strong contender for the playoffs. After defeating the Minnesota Vikings in a significant game, the offense lead by Jordan Love intends to keep winning. But given that Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears just had a huge victory, they may also be in danger. As the season draws to a close, Matt LaFleur sent a strong message to his team as a result of all of this pressure, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.
“It really means nothing unless we take care of business next week,” was the first thought that came to mind for the Packers head coach.
Their postseason aspirations rest in the hands of Jordan Love who needs to outgun Justin Fields with the help of
the backup player on the team. With an average gain of 6.0 yards per play, the Bears amassed 432 yards overall. Outmuscling their offensive line and taking their quarterback to the ground for a sack or an interception would be the best strategy to beat them. If not, Fields is always ready to go and can even sprint all the way for a first down or climb the pocket.
The Packers’ offensive momentum is already with Matt LaFleur.With 470 yards overall and 28 first downs, they destroyed the Vikings and made repeated trips to the end zone. All they need to do is continue winning this match. Also helpful is the support of the Packers’ home crowd.
