Matt LaFleur Was So Confident 49ers Would Beat Cowboys, He Was Preparing For Them Even Before Wild Card Game

The Green Bay Packers are set to host the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round after the Niners went to Dallas and defeated the Cowboys, leading the entire game from start to finish.

While many were surprised by the results, it seems like Packers head coach Matt LaFleur wasn’t caught off guard one bit.

When discussing his preparations for the Divisional Round, LaFleur sent huge praise to the 49ers while disrespecting the Dallas Cowboys at the same time.

LaFleur’s praise of the 49ers can also be seen as a diss towards the Cowboys who are known to choke come playoff time. In fact, they were the only home team during Wild Card weekend to lose their game.

His comments about preparing for the 49ers well before their game means he expected the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would take care of business against the Philadelphia Eagles in their playoff opener. Of course, he was correct.

Despite plenty of regular-season success, Aaron Rodgers hasn’t been able to beat the 49ers in postseason action over his otherwise storied career. A major reason why Rodgers has just the one ring in his career is because of the 49ers.

Three times, Rodgers has faced off against the Niners in the postseason.

Three losses for Green Bay. Fourth time’s the charm??
