Matt LaFleur Says Packers Got 'Humbled' After 'Butt-Whooping' by Kirk Cousins, Vikings

The Green Bay Packers suffered a 30-10 loss against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at Lambeau Field. After the game, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur acknowledged the lopsided nature of the game.

"That was a butt-whooping today," LaFleur said. "This is a humbling league, and today we got humbled. I think they're a really good football team, and any time you spot them and turn the ball over four times to their one, that's a recipe for disaster. Give them credit, they do a great job, but obviously we didn't coach well enough and certainly we didn't go out there and execute well enough."

The Packers entered the game with high morale after they trounced the New England Patriots last week. Green Bay scored 45 points in that game — the most points scored by any visiting team at Gillette Stadium. After the strong performance, quarterback Jordan Love was tied for the fourth-best odds to win the AP NFL Most Valuable Player award at FanDuel Sportsbook, per The Athletic's Matt Schneidman.

Minnesota's defense has humbled offenses all season long, and Sunday's performance was no exception. Love was sacked eight times and finished with just 220 passing yards with a touchdown and an interception. Green Bay was held scoreless through the first half and fumbled three times — each of which resulted in a field goal for the Vikings.

At 7-2, the Vikings are in a three-way tie for the top spot in the NFC North. The Packers, who entered the game in last place, will have an even tougher path to a division title after falling to a 6-4 record.
