Coach of the year? Look beyond the 'silly narrative' surrounding the Packers' Matt LaFleur

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Myth No. 1 about Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur: He will always be the guy who kicked the field goal on fourth-and-goal from the 8-yard line with 2:09 left in last year’s NFC Championship Game.

“That is a silly, silly narrative,” former NFL quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said.

Myth No. 2: LaFleur only wins because Aaron Rodgers is his quarterback.

“The way we diminish what’s going on there, quite frankly, is unfair,” former NFL MVP Rich Gannon said.
