Brothers Mike LaFleur, left, and Matt LaFleur, right, will face off against each other for a seventh time as NFL coaches on Sunday when Mike’s Rams travel to face Matt’s Packers at Lambeau Field. Mike is the Rams’ offensive coordinator, while Matt is the Packers’ head coach.
“I’ll never forget … he’s like damn near in tears because he feels so bad for me,” Matt recalled. “But it was one of those games where you get your butt kicked, you’re like, ‘Alright, well.’ I was happy for him, obviously disappointed for our team. That’s just the kind of relationship we have. We’re as close as any two brothers, especially in this league, can be.”
“You don’t even think about it during the week. You can’t, there’s just too much. I’m more worried about than going against Matt,” Mike said. “So it’s almost become a normal . Seriously, you don’t even think about it.” The pair worked together for two seasons in Atlanta under Kyle Shanahan. Matt was the quarterbacks coach, while Mike was an assistant with the offense. Shanahan and Matt were tough on Mike, the older brother admits, like they were to any offensive assistant.
