The Green Bay Packers suffered their first loss of the season on Thursday night in a nail-biting 34-27 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles that came down to the final seconds and some questionable play-calling from head coach Matt LaFleur.

The Packers had four plays inside the Eagles' 1-yard line in the fourth quarter, but did not run the ball once.

The game eventually ended on an Aaron Rodgers interception on 2nd-and-goal from the 3-yard line.

So, why didn't LaFleur run the ball in any of those situations?

“That’s a great question,” LaFleur said, according to Ryan Wood of Packers News.

That's not much of an explanation, but LaFleur further extrapolated on why he decided to essentially abandon the run later, saying that he wanted to put the game in Rodgers' hands.

“When you have one of the greatest quarterbacks ever, you trust him to continually gain yards and get down the field,” said LaFleur. “We were able to accomplish a lot of what we wanted to do.”

But even in goal-line situations?

It's something that will likely haunt LaFleur and the Packers over the next week and change, but Rodgers supported his head coach's play-calling afterward.

“We had a couple opportunities there to score,” Rodgers said. “We just didn’t quite execute. But, yeah, it hurts. Obviously, the way they were stopping the run, we feel good about those four calls. I liked the calls.”

Green Bay fell to 3-1 with the loss and will now head on the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys next Sunday.
