Matt LaFleur faced a familiar but painful reality after the Green Bay Packers let another game slip away to the Chicago Bears at a critical moment in the season. With a playoff bid still within reach, the head coach emphasized the urgency of learning from mistakes rather than dwelling on disappointment.
Green Bay controlled much of the contest against Chicago, holding a late lead and dictating tempo for long stretches. That made the ending harder to accept, as a sequence of breakdowns erased the advantage and flipped the result. LaFleur acknowledged that the inability to close out the game remains a troubling pattern.
