When the Green Bay Packers play at Lambeau Field, those chants usually reverberate throughout the stadium.

Tampa Bay averaged an absurd 7.5 yards per play and amassed 452 total yards.
After the game, someone asked Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur if he would think about benching Barry.

LaFleur responded, “Because now’s not the time,” when asked why not. I need to go back and watch the movie because I’m looking for answers.
With a 7-7 record, Tampa Bay was able to hold onto its lead in the NFC South. The Packers, who had entered the day with the seventh and final playoff spot, finished with a 6-8 record and were consequently eliminated from the postseason.
Right guard Jon Runyan of Green Bay said, “We’ve put ourselves in one heck of a hole and the only thing that’s going to cure it is we’ve got to win out.” “You never know what’s going to occur.
