Matt LaFleur became enraged at one of his own players on Thursday night as cameras caught the Packers coach berating him on the sideline.
Green Bay tried to go no huddle during a 4th-and-3 play during the first quarter, but defensive end Kingsley Enagbare accidentally stepped onto the field thinking his team was about to attempt a field goal.
That resulted in referees stopping play to allow the Commanders to make a sub, and the Packers ultimately committed a turnover on downs after Jordan Love’s pass attempt to Matthew Golden fell incomplete.
And LaFleur was absolutely livid at Enagbare after the drive stalled at the Commanders’ 33-yard-line, as he screamed at the 25-year-old.
The coach also took his frustration out on the referees after they prevented Green Bay from snapping the ball quickly.
Golden had gotten open over the middle but Love underthrew him, allowing a Washington defender to break the pass up.

Enagbare, 25, is in his fourth year with Green Bay after the team drafted him in 2022.
He started seven games last year for the Packers, and has played in 53 total games for the green and gold including Thursday.
LaFleur, meanwhile, is in his seventh season as Packers coach and boasted an impressive 68-33 record heading into Thursday.
And some fans were happy to see him lose his temper.
‘Matt LaFleur getting mad on the sidelines really does extend my life by five years every time,’ one said.
‘I live for irate Matt Lafleur,’ a second said.
And a third said: Mad LaFleur [sic] is the best LaFleur.’
The blow-up comes a week after Giants coach Brian Daboll and receiver Malik Nabers clashed on the sideline.
