Packers' Matt LaFleur among NFL coaches on the early-season hot seat

Key Points:

• Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur is under pressure after the team’s 1-2 start and a heavy 35-14 home loss to the Atlanta Falcons, marking a 1-7 stretch since losing Micah Parsons to injury last December.
• LaFleur’s offense has struggled without running back Josh Jacobs, and inconsistent quarterback play behind a weak offensive line has compounded issues, while the defense has failed to contain opposing offenses.
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles faces criticism following a 0-2 start after a disappointing end to last season, despite recently signing a three-year contract extension; Bowles emphasizes the importance of securing the first win to alleviate pressure.
• Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen, under owner pressure to improve after a seven-game losing streak last season, has shown some promise but remains winless after two games, with a critical divisional matchup against Houston looming.
• Other coaches like Jets’ Aaron Glenn, 49ers’ Jim Harbaugh, and Commanders’ Dan Quinn are also under scrutiny, with historical trends suggesting coaching changes are likely if teams do not improve soon.
