Watch: HC Matt LaFleur calls out Packers after 'embarrassing' first half vs. Lions

"It's very humbling and embarrassing right now," LaFleur said. "We got to be able to look each other in the eye, man-to-man, and give it up for one another this whole second half. I want to see this team fight!" 

In the short term, whatever LaFleur said in the locker room worked. Led by quarterback Jordan Love, the Packers offense orchestrated a 12-play, 86-yard touchdown drive to open the second half, paired with a two-point conversion to cut the Lions' lead to 27-11.

Then Love ran it in himself to cut the deficit to 27-17. The Packers attempted a two-point conversion with another Love run, but he was down before the goal line.
