Officials granted Packers coach Matt LaFleur a timeout despite a false start penalty on the play.The controversial call negated a penalty that would have moved Green Bay back from the 2-yard line.Following the timeout, the Packers scored a touchdown to make the score 17-7.<\/p>\n

The referees are feeling might generous to start this holiday season.<\/p>\n

Green Bay Packers<\/a> head coach Matt LaFleur successfully called timeout with his team facing a fourth-and-1 from the Detroit 2-yard line prior to the two-minute warning. However, FOX broadcast replays showed that LaFleur started signaling for the timeout well after Green Bay right guard Anthony Belton began moving before the snap.<\/p>\n

The refs threw the flag on Belton but huddled to discuss as LaFleur protested his tardy timeout. The officials ultimately granted the Packers<\/a> the timeout, saving them precious penalty yards in that portion of the field. LaFleur kept his offense on the field and quarterback Jordan Love found Romeo Doubs for the 3-yard score on the next play to make it 17-7 with 2:12 left in the second quarter.<\/p>\n

“They got a break,” FOX play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt said.<\/p>\n

The Lions<\/a> scored in their two-minute drill to make it 17-14 at halftime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lions and Packers compared to your favorite Thanksgiving foods Joe Rivera and Chris Bumbaca break down Thursday’s Lions…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":562878,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2072],"tags":[3689,247,265,210,146,113,3690,7,27,41,345,2514,2513,3688,20842,1071,1724,3420,147,1325,3787,3031,246,88,6,35196,245,264,428,9,266,678,3691],"class_list":{"0":"post-562877","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-green-bay-packers","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-american","10":"tag-american-football","11":"tag-bay","12":"tag-detroit","13":"tag-detroit-lions","14":"tag-enabled","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-green","17":"tag-green-bay","18":"tag-green-bay-packers","19":"tag-greenbay","20":"tag-greenbaypackers","21":"tag-highlights","22":"tag-hub","23":"tag-jordan","24":"tag-jordan-love","25":"tag-lafleur","26":"tag-lions","27":"tag-love","28":"tag-matt","29":"tag-matt-lafleur","30":"tag-neutral","31":"tag-news","32":"tag-nfl","33":"tag-nfl-hub","34":"tag-overall","35":"tag-overall-neutral","36":"tag-packers","37":"tag-sports","38":"tag-sports-news","39":"tag-story","40":"tag-story-highlights-ai-enabled"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115632841449187343","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=562877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562877\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/562878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=562877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=562877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=562877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
