Matt LaFleur's biggest roster mistake ended up costing Packers in playoff choke

The Green Bay Packers had their fans thinking about a trip to face the Seattle Seahawks in the divisional round, as they had a three-score lead against Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears in their Wild Card matchup. Losing 31-27 would have sounded improbable, but that is exactly what happened.

Not only did blowing a 21-3 halftime lead and allowing Chicago to score 25 points in the fourth quarter rip the collective heart out of this fanbase and set it ablaze, but the fact that a victory would have been secured had it not been for special teams mistakes from kicker Brandon McManus is simply a punch right to this fanbase's heart.
