Packers coach LaFleur critiques roughing penalties as team leads league

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur expressed frustration over roughing-the-passer penalties during a press conference following the team's 23-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys on October 18. The Packers lead the NFL with six such penalties, while their opponents have hit quarterback Jordan Love 39 times without incurring a penalty for roughing. LaFleur indicated that he would submit video of the penalties to the league for further clarification on their legitimacy. Additionally, he mentioned that edge defender Micah Parsons has not yet been cleared to return to practice, and wide receiver Christian Watson learned a tough lesson when he stopped running after a catch, mistakenly assuming the play was over.
