Cory's Corner: A Lost Gamble Was A Win

The percentages said that Matt LaFleur should've kicked the field goal.

However, the rookie Packers coach spat at all those numbers by rolling the dice.

The Packers beat the Panthers 24-16 on Sunday not because LaFleur opted to go for a touchdown instead of kicking the chip shot field goal.

But he may have won a lot more.

There were two seconds left in the first half. The Packers were up 14-10. First, Matt LaFleur called the team's final timeout. Then, after the Panthers saw that LaFleur was serious about going for it, they called first timeout to talk it over.
