The Green Bay Packers are in a fight for survival. Each week is essentially a playoff game as they try to sneak into the postseason.<\/p>\n
That can make them a desperate team, which breeds danger and opportunity, and some of Matt LaFleur’s coaching decisions Sunday straddled both. In the end, it paid off as the Packers defeated the Miami Dolphins 26-20 and kept themselves alive in the race for a playoff spot. <\/p>\n
\u201cA resilient win by our team,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cSuper proud of the guys in the locker room sticking together, no flinch. It wasn’t pretty.\u201d <\/p>\n
It wasn’t pretty as the Packers went 2-for-5 in the red zone and 2-for-4 specifically in goal-to-go situations. Both times, Mason Crosby (who set a Packers franchise record Sunday for most consecutive starts) knocked in field goals. In total, the Packers settled for four field goals, three of which were in the red zone. <\/p>\n
