Aaron Rodgers’ HC Matt Lafleur Emerges as the Unlikely Clown for NFL Fans After Ridiculous Fake Play

One of the heated matchups of Week 16 happens to be the clash between Green Bay and the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium. It’s a crucial game for Matt LaFleur to sustain the team’s playoff aspirations alive; however, his play-calling instincts looked terrible before the first half of the game when he tried to execute a fake punt.

In several instances, fans have seen LaFleur making aggressive plays, ignoring the easy points on the table. While most of the time it worked in his favor, it also backfired at various moments. The Christmas game against the Dolphins happened to be the stage when LaFleur and the special teams’ coordinator Rich Bisaccia tried to orchestrate a fake play.

Not only did it fail, but also helped the Dolphins add three more points sustaining their 20-10 lead. It took no time for this incident to spread like a wildfire, with fans roasting the head coach for taking unnecessary risks.

The incident happened when a little more than nine minutes on the clock. Instead of running the ball 4th-and-2 from his own 20-yard line, LaFleur went aggressive, calling a fake. Safety Dallin Leavitt’s attempt found no success and got stuffed by the Dolphins’ special teams.

It seems LaFleur had seen something different in the Dolphins’ punt coverage team watching their tape and made an unorthodox call. To his dismay, the plan got foiled and helped the opponents maintain their momentum.

There is no debate over the fact that the Dolphins boast a highly capable offensive unit. Weapons like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle making their way down the alley make it more dangerous.

Meanwhile, the Packers head coach Matt LaFleur was amazed by Tua Tagovailoa and praised the passer for his accurate completions. “Well certainly, he’s playing at a really high level,” LaFleur explained to reporters.

“I think he’s a guy that throws with such great anticipation, just watching him he can definitely throw the ball well before receivers are breaking. He makes good decisions.” he added.

Although the Packers are portrayed as underdogs, their record against Miami has been quite impressive. In the past three face-offs, Aaron Rodgers secured two wins, and in this game, he will look to make it 3-1. Fans can tune in for more updates.
