Sad news: The head coach of the Green Bay Packers received sad news regarding his top player

During his postgame news conference, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LeFleur became irritable with the media after being asked harder for an explanation after Thursday night’s harsh defeat by the Detroit Lions.

After losing 34–20, LaFleur commented, “They manhandled us.”

Compared to Detroit’s 211 total rushing yards, the Lions defense only allowed the Packers to accumulate 27 total rushing yards. Jordan Love threw for 246 yards with just one touchdown and two interceptions during the passing game, according to LaFleur, who indicated it was not much better.

“Detroit deserves a lot of praise. They came in and gave us a serious whooping. The effort put forth by our players in the second half satisfied me. At the half, I had to challenge them to just keep competing outside, I urged them. believed that was what we did.”

“There’s a lot of improvement out there for us,” he concluded. I believe that if you can’t run the ball well and, on the other hand, stop the run, you’re going to lose football games, and that’s exactly what occurred tonight. And we anticipated Detroit would be a formidable foe, but they really handled us in every aspect.”

LaFleur was questioned about this during his post-game statements.

“You observed it… We really did get our ass kicked. It wouldn’t have happened if I had known.”

A second question was asked after a little silence, and LaFleur turned back to the reporter, obviously not pleased with the question.

“That’s a BS question, man.”

The Lions defeated their NFC North rivals for the fourth time in a row on Thursday night. The Lions’ first-half lead of 24 points against the Packers was their largest in the 188-game history of the rivalry versus Green Bay.

“It is what it is, really. Nobody seems to be sympathetic to us, in my opinion,” LaFleur remarked. “Not everything was up to par. The plan was inadequate. It was really embarrassing to behind 27-3, or whatever the score was, at the half.”
