Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LeFleur was blunt in his assessment of Thursday night’s brutal beat down by the Detroit Lions, but he got testy with the media when pressed further for an explanation during his postgame presser. 

"They manhandled us," LaFleur said of the 34-20 loss.

The Lions defense held the Packers to just 27 total rushing yards, compared to Detroit’s 211 total rushing yards. LaFleur said the passing game was not much better, with Jordan Love throwing for 246 yards for just one touchdown and two interceptions.

"Give Detroit a lot of credit. They came in and whooped us pretty good. I was pleased with our team’s effort in the second half. I told them, I had to challenge them at halftime to just continue to go out there and compete. Thought we did that." 

He continued, "Every area, there’s a lot of improvement out there for us. I think every time you go out there, and you can’t effectively run the football and conversely, can’t stop the run, that's a recipe for losing football and that’s what happened tonight. And give Detroit credit, we knew they were a tough opponent, but they manhandled us, really in every phase."
