LaFleur: Packers Won't Gain 'Advantage' vs. Lions After Jahmyr Gibbs Leaked Calls

Andrew PetersDec 4, 2024

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs mistakenly revealed his team's code words for dropback protections on social media last week, but Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur doesn't think the mishap will benefit his squad much.

Ahead of the Packers' bout with the Lions on Thursday, LaFleur said that while he wouldn't want his team's information getting out, it ultimately doesn't give his team "a real competitive advantage."

"It's not something that we, I would say, over-talk," LaFleur said, per NFL Network's Kevin Patra. "I think the guys understand that nobody wants their information out there for the whole world to see. So, we try to keep everything in-house here. But I don't think it's like the end of the world, either. I don't think you gain a real competitive advantage off of that, personally."

It's common for teams to change their calls and codewords week-by-week, so Gibbs' social media error might not have been much of a headache inside the Lions' locker room. In fact, Detroit head coach Dan Campbell said he doesn't "really give a crap" about the leaks and said if codewords were a reason for the loss "then we're not good enough anyway."

Campbell makes a good point. The Lions are the winners of 10 consecutive games and are tied for the best record in the NFL. Even if the Packers had a slight tactical advantage, Detroit would surely be able to make up for it in other ways.
