Joe Barry downplays the discussion with Matt LaFleur about Packers' defensive changes during the game against the Lions

GREEN BAY - Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry downplayed the conversation he had Monday night with coach Matt LaFleur about changing his defensive approach during the 35-17 victory over the Detroit Lions, saying it was nothing more than two coaches hashing out adjustments.

And he objected to reports that the conversation happened during halftime.

“Matt and I didn't even talk at halftime,” he said. “You come in (to the locker room), guys go to the bathroom, you discuss some things as an offensive-defensive staff. You get in front of the players, you kind of hit some of the runs that were an issue.
