Total Breakdown: Matt LaFleur broke down in tears when he broke the awful news about this important player and provided a heartbreaking update.
During his postgame press conference, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LeFleur became irritable with the media after being pressed further for an explanation regarding Thursday night’s brutal defeat by the Detroit Lions.

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 said 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 team in the second half pleased me. At the half, I had to challenge them to just keep competing outside, I told them. believed that was what we did.”
“There’s a lot of improvement out there for us,” he continued. 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 happened tonight. And we knew Detroit would be a formidable foe, but they really handled us in every aspect.”
Jordan Love lets out a sigh.

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

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 highest in the 188-game history of the series against 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 trail 27-3, or whatever the score was, at the half.”
