The last time the Green Bay Packers played in the NFC Championship Game, Matt LaFleur was on the opposite sideline helping the Atlanta Falcons advance to the Super Bowl with a crushing offensive performance.
LaFleur was the Falcons’ quarterbacks coach as Matt Ryan went on to the win the MVP award. The Falcons’ offensive coordinator that season? Kyle Shanahan, the current head coach of the San Francisco 49ers, the Packers’ opponents for the NFC Championship this week.
LaFleur and Shanahan were part of Dan Quinn’s staff playing against the Packers three years ago.
