MATT LaFLEURIn his seventh season as the Packers' 15th head coach.

• Is in his 17th season in the NFL, having previously served as an offensive coordinator for two seasons (Los Angeles Rams, 2017; Tennessee Titans, 2018), a quarterbacks coach for six seasons (Washington Redskins, 2010-13; Atlanta Falcons, 2015-16), and an offensive assistant for two seasons (Houston Texans, 2008-09).
• 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 67-33 regular-season record since 2019 is No. 4 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).

BRIAN SCHOTTENHEIMERIn his first season as the Cowboys' 10th head coach.

• Has 25 years of NFL experience, including 14 seasons as an offensive coordinator. Was the offensive coordinator for six seasons with the New York Jets (2006-11), three seasons with the St. Louis Rams (2012-14), three seasons with the Seattle Seahawks (2018-20) and two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys (2023-24).
• In his first season as Dallas' offensive coordinator in 2023, the Cowboys led the league in scoring offense (29.9 ppg), ranked fifth in total offense (371.6 ypg) and third in passing offense (258.6 ypg).
• In 2023, Dallas scored the second-most points in a season in franchise history (509) and led the league with five 40-point games, tied for the most such games in team history.

THE PACKERS-COWBOYS SERIES

• These two franchises faced each other in one of the most storied games in league history, the 1967 NFL Championship, known as the 'Ice Bowl.' The temperature at kickoff was minus 13 degress with a minus 46 wind chill, the coldest game in NFL history. Green Bay came out on top as Bart Starr scored the game-winning touchdown with 13 seconds left.
• Green Bay won 10 of the first 15 in the series, in which Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi - former assistants on the same N.Y. Giants staff in the 1950s - turned it into one of the NFL's preeminent rivalries.
