The Green Bay Packers suffered another loss, blowing a 22-10 second-half lead against the Minnesota Vikings on September 13, 2026. Head coach Matt LaFleur struggled to provide answers for the team's pattern of late-game collapses, which have contributed to a six-game losing streak dating back to December 2025. This defeat continues a worrisome trend for the franchise, as it marks their fourth blown fourth-quarter lead in five games, including playoffs.
