Entering Sunday, the Green Bay Packers hadn’t won a football game in one month and one day. While their 27-18 home win over the Cincinnati Bengals was far from perfect, coach Matt LaFleur felt “a sense of relief” to have his club back in the win column.
“You always get punched in the face in this league and our guys kept responding,” he said, via packers.com. “That’s what we need to be (resilient), and you have to go through those moments in order to be that. Bottom line, we found a way.”
The defense pitched a nearly perfect shutout in the first half, only to allow Cincinnati to score on three straight second-half drives.
