GREEN BAY — Matt LaFleur had set the tone on Aug. 2.
He had a feeling he had a good team, and if his Green Bay Packers were going to not just survive but thrive amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the players — and everyone else at 1265 Lombardi Avenue — would have to be all-in with a there-is-no-I-in-team approach to the season.
“If we’re going to have football played this year, it’s going to take a lot of self-discipline and a lot of self-accountability,” the Packers second-year coach had said, two weeks before training camp practices began in earnest.
