GREEN BAY, Wis. – In the opener to the 2019 season, after the Green Bay Packers beat the Chicago Bears 10-7, Aaron Rodgers proclaimed “We’ve got a defense.”
This year’s Packers have more than a defense. They’ve got a difference-making defensive coordinator.
Jeff Hafley was given a game ball following Green Bay’s 24-22 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday. Hafley, who spent the last four years as Boston College’s head coach but had never been an NFL coordinator, called a masterful game against Houston.
“I just thought he’s done a hell of a job, I really do,” coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday.
