BREAKING: Matt LaFleur couldn’t keep his comments clean about Jordan Love after Packers-Bengals
Matt LaFleur and his Green Bay Packers are back to their winning ways, as they came away with a 27-18 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field on Sunday. It was Green Bay’s first win since Week 2’s takedown of the Washington Commanders at home.
The Packers had a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter after tight end Tucker Kraft found the end zone off a 19-yard pass from quarterback Jordan Love. The Bengals threatened a bit when wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase scored a 19-yard touchdown reception, followed by a successful two-point conversion with under five minutes left in regulation, but the Packers weathered that comeback attempt.
LaFleur has NSFW take on Love’s performance in Packers win over Cincinnati
Love put up solid numbers leading Green Bay’s passing offense versus Cincinnati, as he went 19-of-26 for 259 passing yards and a touchdown. His biggest misstep was an interception in the first quarter, but he recovered from it.
LaFleur passionately spoke about his quarterback’s showing in the Bengals game.
Via Zach Kruse of Packers Wire:
“Outside of that, I thought he played his (expletive) off,” LaFleur said post-game. “That was one of the better games he’s played for us, in terms of using his legs to convert critical third downs. That third down we had, we ran a roll pass that got gloved, his ability to maneuver through and find a way to pick up a first down. That third down conversion late in the game when they just sacked us and they’ve got all of the momentum, that was a big time play to hit MG (Matthew Golden) there. Quarterbacks, every play is under a microscope. Certainly we never want to give the ball up. But I thought he played his (expletive) off.”
The Packers, who are now 3-1-1, will have days to savor their win against Cincinnati before getting back on the field in Week 7 versus the Arizona Cardinals on the road.

Injury Update: Deebo Samuel a Game-Time Decision for Commanders vs. Chicago Bears
The Washington Commanders will help close out Week 6 of the 2025 NFL campaign on Monday Night Football when they take on the Chicago Bears. After pulling off a big win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 5, the Commanders are feeling good about themselves right now, but injuries could change that feeling very quickly.
Washington has been hit hard by the injury bug early in the new season, and while it has quarterback Jayden Daniels back under center, he’s running out of guys to throw the ball to. Both Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown have been ruled out for this game, and hours before kickoff, they received a murky update on Deebo Samuel‘s injury status.

Commanders Hoping to Grind Out Win Over Bears Amid Injury Woes
If Samuel can’t suit up, picking up a win could suddenly become much more difficult for the Commanders. That would leave an inexperienced trio of Luke McCaffrey, Jaylin Lane, and Chris Moore as the team’s only wide receivers, with Zach Ertz also factoring into the mix at tight end. Running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. is also questionable, which could present more issues for Washington.
The Bears aren’t necessarily the best team in the league, but they are coming off a bye week, which has allowed them to get a bit healthier for this game than the Commanders. Beyond that, they have also won their past two games, so they clearly have some positive momentum heading into this one. Washington will be closely monitoring Samuel’s status ahead of its 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff, and his availability could play a huge role in determining who wins this game.
