Colin Cowherd targeted the Green Bay Packers’ toughness in a recent broadcast, calling them 'soft as brie cheese.' This criticism came as the team looks to rebound from a disappointing end to the 2025 season, where they lost four straight games, culminating in a wild-card defeat to the Chicago Bears. Coach Matt LaFleur has a strong regular-season record but has faced scrutiny over his team's performance in critical moments. Injuries affected the squad towards the end of last season, but Cowherd's comments raise questions about the team's competitive edge in the rugged NFC North. Green Bay recently extended LaFleur’s contract, indicating confidence in his leadership moving forward.
