Packers Matt LaFleur: Stopping The Run Is Key To Winning On Monday Night

GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – As the Green Bay Packers get ready to face the Raiders on Monday night football, head coach Matt LaFleur is speaking about the need for the defense to step up and make tackles.

“Are there times we’ve gotten out of gaps—absolutely,” said LaFleur. “I think that happens from time to time. Unfortunately for us, it’s happened too much where they’ve had too big of a hole, and we haven’t had people in position to make a play on the ball. We have to do a much better job of filling that gap and making sure that we get people in the right positions.
