Schedule leaves Packers no time to celebrate ending slump

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Matt LaFleur didn’t bother going home Sunday night after the Green Bay Packers snapped their longest losing streak since 2008 by rallying for an overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys.

He simply didn't have time.

LaFleur had to start preparing as soon as possible for a Thursday night game with the Tennessee Titans as the Packers try to recover from a five-game skid that damaged their playoff hopes.

“It’s a good thing there’s a couch in my office,” the Packers coach said Monday.

The NFL schedule offers the Packers (4-6) little opportunity to celebrate their 31-28 triumph, which came after they rallied from a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter.
