On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers suffered a 39-22 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, with head coach Matt LaFleur voicing his frustration over the offensive line's performance.

LaFleur emphasized that receiving 15 hits from the quarterback is an excessive number, speaking to the concern over the offensive line's effectiveness in the game.
Despite both teams having moments of contention, Minnesota ultimately secured a significant victory, dominating the final minutes of regulation with a 22-0 run. The Packers, without the help of running back Josh Jacobs, struggled to move the ball, accumulating only 66 yards in the process. With Christian Watson contributing 147 receiving yards and two touchdowns, alongside Matthew Golden's 95 yards, the team's offensive firepower was somewhat evident.
Nonetheless, the Packers' next challenge lies ahead as they head to New York to face the Jets on September 20th at 1 p.m. ET.
