Ravens Thrash Packers, Bears Clinch NFC North as Green Bay Falls to No. 7 Seed

LaFleur's job security faces renewed scrutiny under Ed Policy's evaluation year.

Overview

  • The 41-24 defeat to Baltimore was Green Bay’s third straight loss and came after the team had already secured a playoff berth.
  • Green Bay surrendered 307 rushing yards and 41 points, a season-worst defensive collapse at Lambeau Field.
  • Matt LaFleur rejected the notion of relief after clinching the postseason and said the team’s preparation and performance were not good enough.
  • Players described the loss as embarrassing, citing complacency and poor sideline energy during the game.
  • With the Packers locked into the NFC’s No. 7 seed for a third straight year, reporter Matt Schneidman noted Ed Policy may face a tough decision on LaFleur if the team exits in the first round.
