Packers collapse in second half against Vikings amid LaFleur scrutiny
Summary

On September 13, 2026, the Green Bay Packers suffered a dramatic second-half collapse against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. Head coach Matt LaFleur opted to forgo three points in favor of a 4th-and-1 attempt, which the team failed to convert. This decision and subsequent turnovers left the Packers' defense in challenging positions, leading to the Vikings capitalizing with multiple touchdowns. The loss marks another instance of the Packers failing to maintain a double-digit lead, intensifying discussions about LaFleur's future with the team after his recent contract extension. The Packers now face pressure to improve their performance moving forward.
