Packers HC Matt LaFleur’s Sarcastic 6-Word Jab at Refs’ Shady Timeout Call – “They’re Not Even Trying To Hide It” [VIDEO]

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur had a hysterical response to a reporter’s question about a blown call by the NFL refs in Thursday’s Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions.

The Packers were the beneficiary of several controversial calls during the first half of Thursday’s clash at Ford Field, including a moment where they got away with a blatant false start penalty on a crucial 4th-and-1 play inside the five-yard line.

Green Bay should have been penalized for a false start to bring up a fourth-and-six situation, which would have surely prompted Matt LaFleur to send out the field goal team. But the refs made the mistake of granting a timeout to LaFleur, even though he signaled for it well after the infraction:

The Packers went for it on 4th-and-1, and Jordan Love hit Romeo Doubs for a touchdown to extend the lead to two scores. They went on to win 31-24, completing the season-series sweep.

Speaking to the reporters after the game, Matt LaFleur committed the rare gesture of actually complimenting the refs after a questionable call.

“Of course they got it right!” LaFleur said.
