Matt LaFleur: Packers fans in Seattle definitely made a difference
Seattle has long been an imposing place for opposing teams to play, but the Packers were able to make themselves at home on Sunday night.
Seattle has long been an imposing place for opposing teams to play, but the Packers were able to make themselves at home on Sunday night.
While the crowd at Lumen Field may have featured more Seahawks fans than Packers fans overall, the Packers fans that did turn out made sure that their presence was felt. It did not feel like a hostile environment for the road team during their 30-13 win and head coach Matt LaFleur made sure to take a moment to highlight the Packers partisans when he spoke to reporters after the game.
"Big shout-out to our fans," LaFleur said, via the team's website. "I definitely was not expecting that many Packer fans in the stands. This is a tough place to play, it's extremely loud, and I was shocked when our defense was on the field and I could hear our Packer fans. It definitely made a difference for us."
The Packers gave their fans plenty to cheer about over the course of the evening and they should get a warm welcome back to Lambeau Field as they work to nail down a playoff spot in Week 16 against the Saints.
