Matt LaFleur Questions Officiating After Packers’ Win, Citing Uncalled Holds on Micah Parsons

The coach’s postgame rebuke underscores a long-running complaint about how Parsons is blocked.

Overview

  • LaFleur said he didn’t “know what holding is anymore” after multiple in-game exchanges with officials over blocks on Parsons in the 28-21 victory over Chicago.
  • A late play showed Bears tackle Darnell Wright appearing to hook Parsons around the neck with no flag as Caleb Williams completed a 24-yard pass, a clip the NFL posted on X.
  • Parsons told reporters he feels “immune” to holding calls and said opponents latch on outside the chest area referenced in the rulebook.
  • Parsons registered eight pressures but finished with one tackle, two quarterback hits, and no sacks despite frequent contact that went unpenalized.
  • With a rematch in two weeks and division seeding at stake, Yahoo Sports reported the Packers could follow public remarks with a routine video submission to the league for review.
