Matt LaFleur takes blame for Bucs’ touchdown before half in NFC title game

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur took full blame for the playcall that resulted in a game-changing touchdown by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers late in the first half of the NFC Championship Game.

On the play, Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady connected with Scotty Miller for a 39-yard touchdown against a questionable coverage call with six seconds left in the first half.

LaFleur pointed to a communication break down.

“That was just a flat out miscommunication. Ultimately, any time something like that occurs, that 100 percent falls squarely on my shoulders.
