MATT LaFLEUR…In his seventh season as the Packers' 15th head coach.

• In his first six seasons leading the Packers, has authored one of the greatest starts to a head-coaching career in NFL history. Per the Elias Sports Bureau, his 67 wins are the second most in league history by a head coach in his first six seasons in the NFL, trailing only George Seifert (75 in 1989-94). Green Bay's 76-38-1 regular-season record since 2019 is No. 3 in the NFL and ranks No. 1 in the NFC.
• Became the first coach in NFL history to post 13-plus wins in three straight seasons and his 39 wins from 2019-21 passed Seifert (38) for the most wins by an NFL head coach in his first three seasons in the league (Elias). His 39 wins are also tied for the second most by a coach over any three-season span in league history, trailing only Andy Reid's 40 wins with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2020-22 and Mike Ditka's 40 wins with the Chicago Bears from 1985-87 (Elias).
• Led Green Bay to the playoffs last season for the fifth time in six years (tied for No. 3 in the NFL over that span), guiding the two youngest playoff teams in the NFL over the past 45 seasons in 2023 (weighted age of 25.25) and 2024 (25.72).
• In his first season leading the Packers in 2019, became the first coach in club history to guide the team to the playoffs in his debut season. Also led the largest one-year win improvement in team history (plus-seven wins).

JOHN HARBAUGH…In his 18th season as the Ravens' third head coach.

• Has 27 years of NFL experience, having previously spent 10 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles as the secondary coach (2007) and the special teams coordinator (1998-06).
• Has led the Ravens to a playoff berth in 12 of his 17 seasons (2008-12, 2014, 2018-20 and 2022-24) in Baltimore, and in 2012, captured the franchise's second Super Bowl title.
• Ranks No. 7 all time in playoff victories by a head coach with 13 and has the most road playoff victories (eight) by a head coach in NFL history.
• Has led the Ravens to 192 total wins in his tenure as head coach, which ranks tied for No. 3 in the NFL during that span.
• From 2008-24, the Ravens' defense allowed the fewest scrimmage touchdowns (525) and points per game (19.1) of any club during that span.
