Head Coach of the Green Bay Packers, Matt LaFleur, Talks About the Security Guard Who Tried to Stop Him During the Halftime of Their Week 12 Victory.
On Thanksgiving, the Green Bay Packers defeated the Detroit Lions 29–22, and very little could stop them. On the opening play of the game, Jordan Love connected with Christian Watson for a 53-yard reception, kicking off a game that Green Bay would never trail.
Considering that the Lions (now 8-3) thrashed Green Bay in every aspect of the game in a rout at Lambeau Field in Week Four, many were taken aback by the Packers’ convincing victory. The Packers were also missing a lot of their starting and/or important players. Due to injuries, Jaire Alexander, De’Vondre Campbell, Aaron Jones, Dontayvion Wicks, and both of their starting safeties, Rudy Ford and Darnell Savage, were sidelined.
Head coach Matt LaFleur appears to perform best when his cupboard is empty. In 2021, his Packers team defeated the 7-0 Arizona Cardinals 24-21 despite being without its three best wide receivers, David Bakhtiari and Alexander.
With his stellar roster, he created yet another masterpiece on Thanksgiving. The Packers were, in fact, nearly as unbeatable as they have been the entire season. Nonetheless, a security guard made every effort to prevent LaFleur and his team from escaping through the tunnel at halftime.
