Matt LaFleur ‘extremely’ disappointed how Fox’s Tom Rinaldi portrayed Packers kicker comment
Matt LaFleur addressed a now-viral comment made about Packers kicker Anders Carlson from Saturday’s divisional-round loss to the 49ers, stating he was “extremely” disappointed in how the moment was portrayed.
When speaking to the media Monday, LaFleur elaborated on the remark about the Green Bay rookie, which Fox reporter Tom Rinaldi attributed the coach to saying, in part: “He basically said, ‘When he goes out there, I just pray,'” according to Awful Announcing.
“That was extremely disappointing that thats how that message got portrayed, the 44-year-old LaFleur said.
“Ive been a part of production meetings ever since I became a coordinator and Ive never had an experience like that, but it is what it is. I talked to Anders about it. I think any time somethings out of your control, kind of saying it in jest and having fun with it, but it got portrayed that way and its a learning lesson for me.

3Packers head coach Matt LaFleur speaks at a news conference after an NFL football NFC divisional playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers. APRinaldi shared the quote after Carlson, a sixth-round rookie out of Auburn, missed a 41-yard field goal attempt in the fourth quarter that, if made, would have given the Packers a seven-point lead over San Francisco.
On the following possession, 49ers running back Christian McCaffery scored a six-yard touchdown to give the 49ers a three-point lead that stuck, thanks to a late-game interception thrown by Packers quarterback Jordan Love.
San Fransico punched its ticket to the NFC Championship game for the third year in a row with the 24-21 victory.
