Calls Mount for Packers to Fire Matt LaFleur After Blowing Lead vs Vikings
Some Green Bay Packers fans want to see head coach Matt LaFleur fired amid a six-game losing streak that has seen blown leads.
The Green Bay Packers suffered a 39-22 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, despite taking a 22-10 lead in the third quarter. This marks the team's sixth consecutive loss, with recent double-digit leads against the Bears, Broncos, and Vikings. Head coach Matt LaFleur and general manager Brian Gutekunst received contract extensions following a January loss to the Chicago Bears.
On ESPN Madison, Steve "Homer" True called for LaFleur's firing, expressing concern over the coach's inability to maintain leads and suggesting it's "amazing" to assume a game is over with him as a coach. Packers management maintains they have no immediate options, as LaFleur has earned the right to be let go.
