On-Field Mic Catches Eagles Calling Packers’ 4th-and-1 Inside Zone Before Decisive Stop

Player admissions plus season-long tendencies put Matt LaFleur’s late call under scrutiny.

Overview

  • With 1:30 left and 4th-and-1 near midfield, Philadelphia stuffed Josh Jacobs to preserve a 10-7 win at Lambeau Field.
  • On-field microphones picked up defensive lineman Moro Ojomo shouting “inside zone this way” just before the snap.
  • Jordan Love said the quick inside-zone call came from Matt LaFleur and had been used multiple times earlier in the game.
  • Josh Jacobs said hearing the defense call out the play made him hesitate, and he fumbled while trying to pitch the ball back to Love.
  • ESPN’s Ben Solak highlighted a pattern of no-huddle inside-zone runs in similar spots this season, with missed blocks by Jordan Morgan and Luke Musgrave contributing to the failure on the decisive play.
