GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- There are six rookie NFL head coaches this season, and Green Bay's Matt LaFleur is standing head and shoulders above them all.
LaFleur and the Packers improved to 4-1 with a 34-24 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
While Lafleur is a yard shy of being undefeated, the other five rookie coaches are a combined 4-18-1. The 39-year-old LaFleur shared the secret to his early success on Monday.
''Just thinking about the teams that, whether it's when I was in high school, college or in the NFL, generally speaking, I think the teams that were the closest, that were the most connected, that played for each other, had the most success.
