With the win, LaFleur became one of seven coaches in the Super Bowl era. The last coach to lead his team to back-to-back conference championship games was former San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh, who led the team in 2011 and 2012.

So far through two seasons, LaFleur has coached the Packers to a 26-6 record, which is the second-best record of any coach in his first two seasons with a team. George Seifert, who coached the 49ers in the early 90s, led San Francisco to a 28-4 record in his first two years with the team.
