The Green Bay Packers got off to a hot start on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions.
A little too hot for a local Michigan security supervisor.
Fox cameras caught Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur jogging toward the visitor’s locker room for halftime at Ford Field. Along the way, a security guard briefly stopped him as if he weren’t holding a play sheet and, notably, one of the winningest active coaches in the league (51-25 in four-plus seasons with the Packers).
It was a weird scene. Detroit’s on-field staff was preparing for Jack Harlow’s Dollar Tree-funded halftime performance. A guy in sweats who looks like he’s approximately 20 percent as old as Bill Belichick came running toward the bowels of the stadium. And before security could make an honest assessment, the two were on each other.
not sure why the security guard wanted to keep Matt LaFleur out of his own locker room, but sure pic.twitter.com/peV6JR4UTv

It wasn’t much of a confrontation, and honestly didn’t really seem like an issue. But it was enough to earn special mention from Fox’s broadcast crew at the start of the third quarter.
Fans, looking for something to talk about other than Green Bay’s unexpected first half domination, decided to talk about it. Here’s what they had to say, sorted out among the entirely too many absolutely thirsty tweets about how handsome LaFleur is.
Pls keep your hands off the hottest NFL coach pls and thank you https://t.co/deSxQdxCmk

If you're a security guard and you're going to collide with one of the head coaches in this game, Matt LaFleur is definitely the one to pick.

Can we get an All 22 angle? Cause it kinda seems like LaFleur ran straight at the security guard

Think it’s pretty clear the security guard was stationary and LaFleur ran into him lol

Thank goodness that Detroit security guard didn’t topple Matt LaFleur. That would have been bad, entertaining, but bad. 🏈

Not Matt LaFleur getting the @Gaardsy treatment with overzealous security at the sideline

Matt Lafleur seems like the kind of guy who would disrespect a security guard for doing his job.
