GREEN BAY, Wis. – Someone give Matt LaFleur a barf bag.
“I want to vomit every time I hear ‘No. 1 receiver,’ to be honest with you,” the Green Bay Packers’ coach said on Monday. “It drives me crazy. That’s something that you guys talk about.”
The Packers didn’t have a No. 1 receiver but crushed the Dallas Cowboys – who do have a No. 1 receiver – in the playoffs. Their lack of a No. 1 receiver entering this season was time-killing fodder during the offseason.
For Green Bay, the strength of the passing game isn’t having a megastar receiver like Davante Adams or CeeDee Lamb.
