"To start off getting to the NFC title game, and then last year, I just pretty much figured we would be right back," Lowry said. "But nothing is easy in this league. We found that out fast."

Two years ago, with Sean McVay calling plays and LaFleur serving as offensive coordinator, the Rams became the first team in the Super Bowl era to go from last to first in scoring in a single season. LaFleur went on to be the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans this past season, and now he's the Packers head coach.

Lowry, who acknowledged he went right to the computer to search LaFleur's history when he learned of the hiring, doesn't know a lot about the new Green Bay leader. Much of what he knows comes from going against LaFleur's offenses in the league, including playing the Titans in the preseason opener this past August.

"I know he's a smart guy, and we'll just have to see how he approaches his new job," Lowry said. "It's going to be exciting to get a new, fresh voice in here, no matter if he's offensive- or defensive-minded. It's going to be refreshing to go back to work."
