Packers’ coach Matt LeFleur supports Bengals coach Zac Taylor

It took just one year for current Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur to become close friends.

Both Taylor and LaFleur were coaches on Sean McVay’s staff in Los Angeles. While coaching the Rams in 2017, LaFleur and Taylor shared neighboring offices.

LaFleur was the offensive coordinator and Taylor was the quarterbacks coach. Both went on to become head coaches and square off for the first time this Sunday when the Bengals host the Packers.

The Bengals and Packers are both 3-1 and sit atop their respective divisions, making this game even more interesting. LaFleur is 31-9 since taking over as head coach of his team, Taylor is 9-26-1.

“Zac Taylor, first and foremost, he’s a great person,” LaFleur said on Wednesday. “He’s a guy I’ll always root for except this week. I have a lot of respect for him in terms how he sees the game, his work ethic, his ability to communicate not only with the coaches but with the players. I thought he did an outstanding job for us in the one year I was with him in Los Angeles.”
