Even though the Green Bay Packers ultimately defeated the Dallas Cowboys in overtime on Sunday night, that didn’t stop Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers from blasting the playcalling from Packers head coach Matt LaFleur after the game.
Aaron Rodgers seemed to think that the team should have tried to win the game in regulation on Sunday, while tied 28-28 late in the fourth quarter. But instead, LaFleur was content to play for overtime, calling two running plays, a third-down incompletion, and a punt.
After the game, Rodgers revealed that he wasn’t a fan of the move.
“Just every single play call, probably,” Rodgers said, according to Pro Football Talk. “I felt like we were like 30 yards from ending the game in regulation, and also felt like it was two minutes, so I was going to be calling those, and I was in a pretty good rhythm. Obviously, I didn’t have a ton of attempts, but felt like I was in a pretty good rhythm. I felt like I threw the ball just about exactly where I wanted to, so I wanted a chance to go win the game.”
Ultimately, the Packers still won. But it’s obviously not always a great sign when your quarterback is publically criticizing the playcalling of the coach.
