4. The Packers regrettably blew two chances to win the game in regulation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

On third-and-8 from the New England 40 with just over two minutes left in the fourth quarter, Rodgers hit Doubs on a deep ball to the end zone and Lambeau exploded in cheers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Only Doubs lost control of the ball as he hit the ground, and the pass was ruled incomplete.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I was celebrating,” Rodgers said. “(Patriots pass rusher) Matt Judon was standing next to me and he goes, ‘He dropped it.’ I’m like, ‘What?’ And they showed the replay and he didn’t take it all the way to the ground.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That led to an ill-fated decision by LaFleur to challenge the call, which was upheld on replay. The lost timeout proved monumental subsequently, because the Packers pinned the Patriots on their own 2-yard line with 1:52 left, but with only one timeout remaining, Green Bay was not able to get the ball back again until New England punted with just 14 ticks to go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

With one more timeout, the Packers might’ve forced the Patriots to punt with closer to a minute on the clock, plenty of time for one more drive for the game-winning points.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

LaFleur was highly self-critical after the game, calling it a wrongheaded “Hail Mary” to throw the red flag and even admitting assistant coach Connor Lewis advised him from the booth not to challenge the Doubs play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I’m not too proud of that moment,” LaFleur said. “It’s a great learning lesson that you can never make those emotional decisions in the heat of battle. You know better. You’ve got to survive the ground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Thank God our guys bailed me out in that regard, but definitely the worst decision of the day by me.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Packers-Giants from Tottenham Hotspur is up in seven days, a pair of 3-1 NFC teams hopping across the Atlantic Ocean for what promises to be a wild and raucous environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“That’s a challenge in itself,” LaFleur said. “It’s the same for both teams, right, in terms of whoever can handle that travel the best typically will go out there and perform the best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“There’s a lot to clean up before we get on that plane to go to London.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But once again, the Packers are working on their faults after a difficult victory, which beats the alternative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“A win’s a win,” Rodgers said. “That was an ugly first half, good second half. We’re going to celebrate this and now the schedule gets physically demanding as far as travel.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
