Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur doesn't sound particularly pleased with the way the NFL scheduled the team's bye during the 2025 regular season.
In recent interviews with both Larry McCarren of Packers.com and Chris Simms of NBC Sports, LaFleur mentioned the peculiar decision to give the Packers a bye week in Week 5 after scheduling a Week 2 game on Thursday night.
The Packers have the earliest possible bye week and will also play the league's first "Thursday Night Football" game in Week 2.
"It is interesting having the short week in Week 2 after we play Washington followed up by a Week 5 bye, but we'll adjust to it," LaFleur told McCarren.
