The Green Bay Packers' dominant defensive effort against the Minnesota Vikings allowed for a classic Matt LaFleur conservative game plan.
It was a smart call on LaFleur's part, as the Packers could take the air out of the game and ease up with only a four-day gap separating this contest and a huge Thanksgiving showdown against the Detroit Lions. However, this performance wasn't anything new. LaFleur has called surprisingly conservative games all season, and it had Greg Olsen's attention on the TV broadcast.
Olsen called out the Packers after running the ball on 3rd-and-3 in the red zone, with Emanuel Wilson losing a yard.
