Being a “Dark Horse” in Green Bay is Nothing New

I love when the NFL playoffs start off the new year, not because we got a few classic games like Philadelphia and Chicago gave us or the blend of “hot takes” that television shows on ESPN or FS1 throw at its audience. No, no it is the head coaching vacancies in the NFL. Ranging from insane moves like Kliff Kingsbury to the Cardinals to a retread of Bruce Arians in Tampa Bay. The Packers continued to make under-the-radar signings with 39 year old Matt LaFleur as the 15th head coach in Packers history.

Another “dark horse” move. The definition of a dark horse is…

a little-known person or thing that emerges to prominence, especially in a competition of some sort, or a contestant that seems unlikely to succeed

Why is it nothing new though?
