Packers' Matt LaFleur won't stress significance of facing Aaron Rodgers ahead of Week 8 showdown vs. Steelers


                        Packers' Matt LaFleur won't stress significance of facing Aaron Rodgers ahead of Week 8 showdown vs. Steelers

In the upcoming Week 8 matchup, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur will face his former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, now with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, LaFleur is downplaying the significance of this reunion, stating that his primary focus is on beating the Steelers, not the personal aspect of facing Rodgers. LaFleur emphasized that the game is about the teams, not the individual players or coaches involved. He is determined to approach the game with the same preparation and strategy as any other week, without letting the personal connection with Rodgers distract him or the team. The Packers are currently 3-4 on the season, while the Steelers are 2-5. Both teams are looking to bounce back and improve their records. LaFleur's priority is to ensure his team is well-prepared and focused on executing their game plan, rather than dwelling on the reunion with his former quarterback.
