Packers' Matt LaFleur offers explanation for conservative offense at end of half

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur is defending his actions at the end of the first half in a game Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. LaFleur kept his offense moving slow near the end of the first half of play, instead of aggressively looking to score. The Packers ended up winning the game, 16-10.

“Some would call it conservative. I would call it smart,” LaFleur said of his offensive play calling, per The Athletic.

The Packers are playing without starting quarterback Jordan Love, who got hurt in the team's first game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Brazil.
