Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleuer ripped into defensive lineman Kingsley Enagbare in the first quarter of the team’s game against the Washington Commanders on Thursday.
Amazon Prime Video host Kirk Herbstreit explained that Enagbare believed the Packers were going out onto the field to kick a field goal from the Commanders’ 33-yard line. Instead, Green Bay decided to go for it. The confusion caused the official to stand over the ball, slowing the Packers’ offense down.
The broadcast showed LaFleur yelling at Enagbare on the sidelines. The Packers turned the ball over on downs to start the game.
Enagbare, a fifth-round pick out of South Carolina, is in his fourth season with Green Bay. He had three tackles in Week 1 against the Detroit Lions.
Green Bay entered the locker room with a 14-3 lead over the Commanders.
