(AP) — Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur was more interested in talking about his team’s future than his own a day after the biggest playoff collapse in the franchise’s storied history. How long the two are connected remains uncertain.

LaFleur expected to meet with Policy again either later Sunday night or Monday. But he declined to comment on whether he expected to keep his job after the Packers (9-8-1) made their third straight playoff appearance but lost their final five games.“That’s not the focus right now, to be honest with you,” LaFleur said.

Key Highlights

  • “We’re fresh off this loss.
  • My sole focus is on our players, our team, and just trying to find ways to get better.”The Packers became the fourth team in NFL history to lose a playoff game after leading by at least 15 points to start the fourth quarter.
  • Green Bay led 21-3 at halftime and 21-6 after the third period. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementLaFleur reiterated Sunday how much he wants to keep the job he’s had for the last seven seasons.“This is one of one,” LaFleur said.
  • “I love this place.”LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst have one year remaining on their contracts.
  • Policy said last summer he would prefer not to have his coach and GM enter the final year of their contracts without extensions, saying it “creates a lot of issues.”That seemingly makes extending LaFleur's contract or firing him the most likely options. LaFleur was asked Sunday if he believed it could be feasible to return next season without an extension, or whether his contract status would cause too many distractions.
