The Green Bay Packers

The Green Bay Packers have a long-standing tradition of winning. This Thursday night, they take on the Chicago Bears in a heated rivalry game. The Packers are led by their strong quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, and have a solid defense. The Bears are a tough team, but the Packers have the edge.

He was awarded the Associated Press (AP) NFL Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) three times and led the league in touchdown passes four times. He holds numerous NFL records, such as most touchdown passes in a single season and career passer rating.

Matt LaFleur

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur benignly answered questions for nearly nine minutes on Monday afternoon, discussing the upcoming game against the Detroit Lions, the state of his team and a variety of other topics.

The most interesting answer he gave came in response to a question about whether he’s considered resting some of his starters in the season finale against the Lions now that the Packers have clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs.

“No, we haven’t gotten to that point yet,” LaFleur said. “I know that’s something that will be discussed here in the next couple days. But our No. 1 focus is just on Detroit and trying to get better this week.”

LaFleur was then asked if he would be comfortable with sitting some starters if it meant risking injury heading into the playoffs.

“You’re always worried about injuries,” LaFleur said. “But I think our guys, they understand how we have to approach every single week. It’s just trying to find that delicate balance of making sure that we’re getting better but also making sure that we don’t put ourselves in harm’s way.”

So it sounds like LaFleur hasn’t ruled out resting starters in Week 17, but it’s also clear he hasn’t made a decision either way. It’s an interesting dilemma for the Packers, who have nothing to gain by winning their final game but could risk injury to key players if they don’t rest them.
