Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur got into a heated argument with a Detroit Lions fan during pregame festivities at Ford Field, Michigan. The incident occurred when a Lions fan in a Brian Branch jersey was told to “shut up” by LaFleur as he approached him. Packers staff intervened before the situation escalated further.
The altercation happened just before the teams took the field for their second matchup of the season, with significant playoff implications at stake. The Lions, led by quarterback Jared Goff, are fighting for a spot in the NFC playoffs, while the Packers, also vying for a postseason berth, lost the first matchup 24-14 on the road in Green Bay.
LaFleur, a Michigan native from Mount Pleasant, has coaching ties to the state through his time at Central Michigan University.
