LaFleur called a perfect game in the first half, solving every riddle Dennis Allen's defense threw at him. The Packers opened an 18-point halftime lead, and fans could start booking their tickets to Seattle.
But the Packers collapsed in such monumental fashion that is makes the Week 16 nightmare look like a stroll in the park.
