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.
