There were a handful of reasons why the Green Bay Packers lost to the Chicago Bears in Week 18, but head coach Matt LaFleur was undoubtedly the biggest reason.
LaFleur is one of the top coaches in the NFL; there's no doubt about that. With that said, he completely botched the end-of-game scenarios against the Bears, and it cost his team a chance at finishing 12-5 with a little bit of momentum heading into the Wild Card round of the NFC playoffs against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Ultimately, winning wouldn't even have mattered much because the Washington Commanders beat the Dallas Cowboys to lock up the sixth seed, but LaFleur's terrible clock management at the end of the game absolutely cost the Packers a game against their biggest rival.
