Aaron Rodgers reveals why he lashed out at Matt LaFleur after upsetting the Cowboys

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers pulled off a massive upset over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11. They snapped their five-game losing streak, but there was a moment in the game that didn't look good for the team.

Rodgers was seen having a heated verbal altercation with head coach Matt LaFleur for not letting him win the game in regulation time. Fortunately for the Packers, they went on to win the game in overtime.

Packers fans must have had flashbacks of the NFC Championship game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There, LaFleur stopped Rodgers from throwing the ball and instead opted for a field goal.

After the game, Aaron Rodgers cleared out the situation and talked about the instance. Here's what he said about the incident:

“Just every single play call, probably, I felt like we were like 30 yards from ending the game in regulation and also felt like it was two minutes, so I was going to be calling those, and I was in a pretty good rhythm.”

Rodgers added:

“Obviously, I didn’t have a ton of attempts but felt like I was in a pretty good rhythm. I felt like I threw the ball just about exactly where I wanted to, so I wanted a chance to go win the game.”

The Green Bay Packers saved their season with a win over the Dallas Cowboys and will hope to get on a winning streak. They are still in the mix for the playoffs, but the road ahead is tough. Nevertheless, the Packers have full faith in their quarterback to pull them out of this tough situation.


Aaron Rodgers and the Packers will face the Titans next

The Green Bay Packers are set to face the Tennessee Titans in Thursday Night Football in Week 11. This is going to be a tricky game for the Packers as the Titans have a very good defense.

Aaron Rodgers will once again be required to be at his best if the Packers want to come away with a victory. The Titans are coming off an impressive win over the Denver Broncos and are aiming to win the AFC South.

The game will likely be determined by two factors. First, how well Aaron Rodgers performs against the Titans defense. Second, how the Packers defense copes with superstar running back Derrick Henry. Henry is something of a colossus on the ball and if Green Bay can't smother him, it will be a long night.

As of now, the Packers are favored by -3.0 points and it will be interesting to see if they come away with another win against another good team.
