The Green Bay Packers wound up losing a heart breaker to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. After Green Bay got down 20-3, they fought back to make it 25-27. However, a late first down conversion would seal the deal for Green Bay.
After the game, head coach Matt LaFleur had something adamant to say.
Packers’ HC Matt LaFleur Goes Off After Loss To Minnesota Vikings (Report
A 55-yard field goal by the Vikings as time expired in the first half of today’s 27-25 win over the Packers fell short. The Packers were penalized for offside, but coach Matt LaFleur wasn’t happy about the ruling:
After the five-yard penalty, the Vikings made their 50-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the first half, in what proved to be a huge development, giving the Vikings three more points in a game they ended up winning by two. LaFleur said after the game that he didn’t think Green Bay’s Edgerrin Cooper was offside.
“I was standing right down the line. I didn’t see it that way. But I’m not an official,” LaFleur said.
Replays seemed to support LaFleur’s contention that his team wasn’t offside. We’ll never know how the rest of the game might have gone differently without those three points, but three extra points in a two-point win were huge for the Vikings. And LaFleur thinks those three points were unearned.
