Packers remain with Matt LaFleur despite slow NFL start

The Green Bay Packers have started the 2026 NFL season with a 1-2 record and face the prospect of an 0-3 start after a 14-35 loss to the Bowling Green Falcons on 25 September. Despite these setbacks, the team is not expected to change head coaches in the near future.

The Packers compete in the NFC North division and have experienced mixed results recently, including a narrow 20-17 win at the New York Jets and a 22-39 defeat at the Minnesota Vikings. Their current form places pressure on the coaching staff but has not prompted immediate action.

Green Bay's next game is scheduled for 4 October against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The match will be critical as the Packers aim to improve their standing in the NFL and avoid a poor start to the season.

The Packers are based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and are a longstanding franchise in the NFL. Their performance in the upcoming fixtures will be closely watched as they seek to reverse their fortunes under Matt LaFleur.
