Matt LaFleur’s Packers have struggled at times against Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers. Robert Saleh’s Jets also handled the Packers pretty handily earlier this season. But among his strongest coaching connections in the NFL, LaFleur’s teams haven’t really had a problem with Sean McVay and the Rams.
The Packers have faced McVay and the Rams twice in the LaFleur era, and both times they’ve dispatched their western opponents with little issue.
The first of the two meetings came in the Divisional Round of the 2020 NFL Playoffs. The Packers came in as seven-point favorites and left with a 14-point win, pushing the Rams all over the field on both sides of the ball en route to a 32-18 victory.
