Packers coach Matt LaFleur disappointed in defensive discipline vs. Lions

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur was upset with the way his defense handled a few trick plays orchestrated by the Detroit Lions during Sunday’s season finale loss at Ford Field.

The Lions hit two big plays for touchdowns, including a 75-yard score in the first quarter and another score early in the second half.

LaFleur pinned the blame on discipline from the defense, which ended up giving up 37 total points and over 400 yards of total offense to the Lions.

“I would say the consistency. Defense, football in general, comes down to discipline, and people owning their roles.
