The Green Bay Packers have clinched a playoff berth for the second consecutive season with Jordan Love as QB1.  Through 15 games, Green Bay is 11-4 and playing their best football of the season right now.  They won’t be an easy team to beat in the playoffs.

However, there’s one thing that head coach Matt LaFleur would like to see change when playing at home.

According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic:

Matt LaFleur on fans again doing the wave with the Packers on offense:

“I wasn’t real happy in that moment. I love our fans and we got the best fans. I just wish they would’ve just waited a couple minutes until we got on defense and then do the wave non-stop.”
