LaFleur’s Bold Calls Lift Packers Past Cardinals, 27-23

Trusting Jordan Love’s conviction, Matt LaFleur scrapped a tying field-goal try and put the ball in his offense’s hands late.

Overview

  • Facing 4th-and-2 with 2:32 left, LaFleur reversed a field-goal attempt after a timeout, and Jordan Love hit Tucker Kraft for 15 yards to keep the drive alive.
  • Three plays later, Josh Jacobs scored with 1:50 remaining for the go-ahead touchdown that stood as the winner in Arizona.
  • With seven seconds left in the first half, a 22-yard Love pass to Romeo Doubs set up Lucas Havrisik’s 61-yard field goal, reported as a franchise record.
  • LaFleur framed both decisions as intentional aggressiveness, saying “Scared money don’t make money,” and credited confidence in his players for the execution.
  • The win moved Green Bay to 4-1-1 and, before Detroit’s Monday night game, alone in first place in the NFC North.
