Today's victory was the 76th regular-season win of Matt LaFleur’s career, moving him into a tie with Paul Brown for No. 2 in NFL history for the most wins by a head coach in his first seven NFL seasons.
Top-ranked North Central honored former @CoachJeffThorne today on Refuse to Lose: Cardinals for a Cure day. He continues his fight against cancer and, indeed, refuses to lose. https://t.co/VfwXSunuyk #d3fb
“I’m gonna beat cancer. I’m gonna keep swinging. And Dad, I’m gonna refuse to lose.”
Those were the closing words of @CoachJeffThorne’s @NCC_Athletics Hall of Fame speech on Saturday — and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house as he completed his delivery of a reflective, uplifting, and thankful speech that focused on his family’s sacrifices, his staff’s excellence, his health battle, and his love for North Central.

Packers had two things holding them back:
1. Legit WR1 (Matthew Golden)
2. Elite pass rusher (Micah Parsons)
Youngest roster in the NFL, too. Giddy up.

My youngest, Lauren, got to drop me off for infusion #7.
Grateful for the healing hands of Jesus that have been at work in me shrinking my tumor, limiting any chemo side effects and carrying me on those few days I couldn’t carry myself!
God is GOOD!
