Matt LaFleur on Packers beating Lions: Fourth downs were the difference in the game

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur successfully executed three crucial fourth-down conversions in a 31-24 victory over the Lions on Thanksgiving, highlighting the importance of aggressive play-calling. The Packers were 3-for-3 on fourth downs, while the Lions, led by head coach Dan Campbell, failed both of their attempts. The Packers' first two touchdowns resulted from fourth-down conversions, and a final fourth-down play allowed them to secure the win. The Lions' unsuccessful fourth down attempts led to a Packers score and halted a potential scoring drive. LaFleur noted the advantage of informing quarterback Jordan Love that they had two plays to work with on third downs, contributing to the successful strategy.
