Overview
- Green Bay blew a 21-3 lead and lost 31-27 to the Bears, capping a five-game slide and renewing scrutiny of LaFleur’s postseason record.
- LaFleur has one year left on his contract, and NFL Network reported before the game that the team planned post‑season extension talks and that he was not coaching for his job.
- ESPN reports a speedy resolution and public announcement are expected, with possibilities ranging from a long-term extension to a firing, trade, mutual parting, a short deal, or playing out the final year.
- Policy is expected to make the call, and ESPN notes GM Brian Gutekunst’s status is separate, with league sources viewing him on firmer ground.
- Jordan Love publicly backed LaFleur, who declined to discuss his status after the loss but voiced his desire to remain; multiple outlets say LaFleur would be a coveted candidate elsewhere, and John Harbaugh is mentioned as a potential target if the job opens.
