Matt LaFleur must overcome unfavorable Packers history for Super Bowl push that needs $186m star to deliver

The Green Bay Packers host the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football, with a head coach running out of time to win it all. The Packers hired Matt LaFleur in 2019, and they have made the playoffs in all but one of those seasons since the appointment. He is 80-43-1 since taking over for Mike McCarthy in 2019 and has twice reached the NFC Championship game – although they were in his first two seasons with the team.
