Packers coach Matt LaFleur explains why he wants to play starters in season finale

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur and his staff looked at past teams in similar situations and also talked to their players, and a consensus formed: All available players will be on the field in some capacity in the season finale against the Detroit Lions.

LaFleur confirmed he’ll be starting every available and healthy starter on Sunday. And the goal, regardless of who is on the field, is to win the game.

“All our guys that are playing, which is the majority of our team, they have to go in with the mindset that they’re going to play the entire game,” LaFleur said Wednesday.
