The Green Bay Packers continued to struggle against their NFC North rivals, losing 27-25 to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. Head coach Matt LaFleur recognized what the Packers must fix in order to compete with the NFC’s most talented teams. But when it comes to a controversial block, LaFleur is standing firm.
Second-year tight end Tucker Kraft took out Vikings’ pass rusher Pat Jones II with a low block in the first half of Sunday’s matchup. Kraft’s hit knocked Jones out of the game and elicited jeers from the crowd.
