GREEN BAY — Matt LaFleur isn’t going to demand that his players stick to clichés in future dealings with the media, but the Green Bay Packers coach believes that his team’s 13-10 loss to the previously winless Cleveland Browns on Sunday will serve as a teachable moment about staying focused on the task at hand and avoiding thoughts on anything beyond that week’s games.

LaFleur admitted to being less than thrilled by left tackle Rasheed Walker offhandedly suggesting at midweek that the Packers could go “undefeated” this season, and the coach seemed to imply that such thinking factored into the team’s lackluster performance against an inferior opponent.

“I just think this league is such a week-to-week league, and you can never lose sight of that,” LaFleur said during his usual day-after-the-game Q&A session with reporters on Monday at Lambeau Field. “And you can never take any moment, any game for granted.

“I’ve said it a million times to you guys — I don’t think I’ve obviously said it enough to our team — the goal is to go 1-0 every week. And it pisses me off when we start talking about things outside of the next game, things that are way down the road.

“Like, keep the focus on the present, on the now, and worry about getting better each and every day.”

To be fair to Walker, this wasn’t Joe Namath sitting poolside declaring that the New York Jets would win Super Bowl III. Walker was discussing how good he felt the Packers had been in the first two weeks and simply was expressing his view of how well the Packers had played.

“I know, I know. But I think it’s always good reminder, like, ‘Hey guys, pump the brakes on everything. We’re just trying to win one game at a time,’” LaFleur said. “And if you’re thinking [like that] or have your sights set on anything outside of that, I think you’re focused on the wrong things.

“We’ve got to be focused on trying to get better. Obviously today, the focus is on — first of all — being honest about the tape and what the tape says, and then learning from that, and then it’s moving on.”

Moving on means getting ready for next Sunday night’s prime-time matchup with the Dallas Cowboys, who are off to a 1-2 start with a defense that has given up the fifth-most points in the league through three games (92) and are dealing with a myriad of injuries as they struggle to find their footing after trading their star pass rusher, Micah Parsons, to the Packers on Aug. 28.

“We’re early in the season, [and] I really would say we’ve got enough here to get this done,” team owner/general manager Jerry Jones said Monday of his team’s early-season struggles. “We’ve got enough. We really do.”

The Packers, meanwhile, seemingly have more legitimate reason to believe they have enough, and while the film of the loss to the Browns provided ample teaching points and hard lessons to the players on Monday, those same players believe they are still one of the best teams in the league.

“I think we know who we are. We’re a good team; we’re still a good team,” said quarterback Jordan Love, who was sacked five times and threw a pivotal interception in the Packers’ disastrous final four minutes of the game. “It’s a tough loss, but it’s one we’re going to have to move on from, grow from and, obviously, move onto next week.”

The Packers defensive players in particular insisted the confidence on their side of the ball hasn’t changed one bit.

“We lost a rough one — one you could’ve said we should’ve won,” Parsons said. “This is character-building. This is adversity. … Undefeated seasons, they’re hard. Let’s be real.

“It’s that hard to win. It’s hard as hell to win football games. When you win football games, it’s a celebration. But when you lose. it sucks.”

Added safety Xavier McKinney: “I still think we’ve got a great team. I think we going to do some special things this year. But I also think it’s good that we learned this lesson early. I’d rather learn it early than late.”

While there are plenty of football lessons to be learned, LaFleur suggested that the importance of being focused and not taking anything for granted would be the biggest lesson his guys should take from the loss.

“It just goes to show you if you don’t play your best, you’re susceptible to getting beat,” LaFleur said. ‘I knew it was going to be a tougher game probably than the outside world perceived, just by judging how good I thought their defense was.

“I think there’s a lot of teachable moments, certainly when you win and obviously you better learn from when you have some failure. Otherwise, you’ll never get better.”
