The Green Bay Packers fell to 11-5 on the season in a heart breaking loss to the Minnesota Vikings. After digging themselves into a 20-3 hole, Green Bay fought back to make it 25-27 late in the fourth quarter.
Despite this, Minnesota would successfully gain a couple first downs and ice the game. After the game, head coach Matt LaFleur had a few things to say.
“Really Hurt Us” Packers HC Matt LaFleur Gives Eye-Opening Remark About Starter
According to Ryan Wood of USA Today:
Matt LaFleur on Edgerrin Cooper:
“He made a lot of splash plays, but there were a lot of plays that we’ve got to make that really hurt us as well. I think it was a mixed bag.
I think he’s so talented, and the sky’s the limit for him. I love having him, but it’s the consistency.”
Green Bay allowed 14 second half points that proved to be just a tad too much. Of course, Minnesota’s made field goal at the end of the first half made a huge difference.
Many have questioned the false start penalty that allowed for Minnesota to re-try the attempt after the first attempt failed to connect.
