Enjoy Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley while he’s here. If his defense continues to play like it did against the Texans, how long until he becomes an NFL head coach?
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers probably didn’t deserve to beat the Houston Texans on Sunday. Losing in turnovers and penalties and giving up a 115-yard rushing game is usually a losing recipe.. With Jordan Love delivering late and Jeff Hafley’s defense rising to the occasion, the Packers beat the Texans 24-22 for their third consecutive victory.The Packers can’t keep living this way. The starting quarterback can’t throw two interceptions and expect to beat a good team.
“That’s not going to ever limit me. I’ve got to keep going out there and being the best player I can for my team. I’m always going to be aggressive, but there’s always going to be those tight-window throws.” Love figured it out last year with an MVP-style second half of the season. There’s no reason to believe he won’t figure it out this year, too, but doing so will be up to Love and Love alone.Coach Matt LaFleur’s track record hiring coordinators hasn’t been great. But it looks like he nailed it with defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley.
Still, Hafley has a keen understanding of what is required to win a game. With Green Bay’s offense getting its “ass” kicked, to quote LaFleur, this was not going to be a bend-but-don’t-break type of day. It was a day to step on the gas and keep the Texans out of scoring position. Hafley seems well-liked by his players. He is a strong communicator. He’s got head coaching experience.
