GREEN BAY — Last Thursday night’s win over the Washington Commanders was perfect for Matt LaFleur.

No, the Green Bay Packers head coach didn’t see a completely flawless performance from his team during the roughly five times he reviewed the film — on what was supposed to be a weekend off for the mini-bye that follows “Thursday Night Football” games. Far from it.

But it was perfect in the sense that it meant he could get after his guys despite the good vibes surrounding the team’s 2-0 start.

In fact, in the minutes immediately following the Packers’ 27-18 victory, LaFleur was already talking about how his players had done enough things wrong in the game to give him plenty to “get after them” about at Monday’s practice.

LaFleur’s to-do list Monday included reemphasizing the importance of avoiding penalties after being flagged 10 times for 77 yards against the Commanders; the offense not being detailed enough after building a 17-3 lead; the defense’s inability to shut down the Commanders and allowing an early fourth-quarter touchdown drive that pulled Washington within 17-10; and the special teams’ units netted only 1 yard on three punt returns while the kickoff coverage unit allowing a 50-yard return.

“You want to close out the game the right way,” LaFleur said after practice. “We went through it today. We’ll look to improve upon those. I thought for the score to be 17-10 in the fourth quarter — it was a one-possession game, and I felt for the most part we were in control of that game.

“Now, what was good about it is when they closed it to 17-10, all three phases did what we needed to do in regards to the offense going down and scoring, the defense getting the turnover on downs, and [kicker Brandon] McManus came in and made a big field goal [to make it 27-10]. So there were some positives, as well.”

But for as good as the Packers feel about themselves at 2-0 — they are one of six NFC teams to win their first two games, but the only one in an NFC North that sent three teams to the playoffs last season — they understand they haven’t accomplished much of anything beyond getting off to a good start.

“I’m not going to sit up here and say we the best team in the NFL. It’s just two games,” first-team All-Pro safety Xavier McKinney said after practice. “We’ve got a lot of football to play

“The biggest thing about being 2-0, you can’t really get complacent and you can’t feel like you won a Super Bowl. A lot of [teams] start off 2-0 and later in the season they won’t be worth a [expletive]. We’ve got to make sure we know the level of importance of these days and keep working and keep trying to get better.”

The Packers’ ability to avoid complacency will be tested on Sunday against an 0-2 Cleveland Browns team at Huntington Bank Field. The Browns were blown out by the Baltimore Ravens, 41-17, on Sunday, with 40-year-old quarterback Joe Flacco being pulled in favor of rookie Dillon Gabriel.

“It’s just embarrassing,” Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett said after the game. “ We have to be better on defense. We have to be better as a team.”
