During Matt LaFleur\u2019s first five years in place as head coach of the Packers, the team totaled a record of 25-8 in games played in December and January. Things have changed quickly over the past two regular and postseasons, with Green Bay going just 3-9 over that same stretch since 2024.<\/p>\n
A second straight promising year ending on a very low note \u2013 in particular, a five-game losing streak including a collapse in the wild-card round \u2013 invited questions about a change on the sidelines. Instead, LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst will remain in place for 2026 (and likely beyond). Reaching the playoffs will once again be the target for Green Bay next year. To boost the team\u2019s chances of avoiding another one-and-done campaign, reinforcements in at least a few key areas will be sought.<\/p>\n
