For years, after winning Super Bowl 45, the Green Bay Packers struggled to reach the NFL’s mountaintop with Aaron Rodgers again. And in the Matt LaFleur era specifically, Green Bay consistently fell short in the postseason. It all culminated with a drama-filled breakup between Rodgers and the Packers last offseason.
After the Packers punched the Dallas Cowboys in the mouth in Sunday’s afternoon Wild Card Game, Matt LaFleur made it seem like all that Rodgers hoopla was firmly in the past.
In fact, based on LaFleur’s phrasing, it was almost as if he had nonsense with Rodgers in mind when praising the Packers’ “different energy” these days. Hmm.
Matt LaFleur closes: “There’s a different energy about our team. It’s so much fun to come to work every day.”

It should be no secret that Rodgers often carries himself like a selfish egotist. And I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that his tiresome act wore on the Packers toward the end of his Green Bay career. For the organization to get a playoff win with Jordan Love in the first year without Rodgers is almost poetic.
It sure seems like the Packers and LaFleur are overjoyed about it, too.
