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).

  • Appeared in four games at QB during his NFL playing career, all with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011.

THE PACKERS-GIANTS SERIES

  • These two teams first met in 1928 when the Giants beat the Packers, 6-0, but Green Bay then won six of the next seven contests (1928-32).
  • The Packers rattled off five consecutive wins from 1961-69 to own the longest winning streak of the series, including two NFL Championship victories during that stretch.
