Watch: LaFleur mystified over pass interference

Matt LaFleur knew Marquez Valdes-Scantling was interfered with in the third quarter, so he challenged - even though he didn't think he'd win.

On the first possession of the third quarter, the Packers faced third-and-7. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw deep to Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Valdes-Scantling was clearly interfered with by Avonte Maddox, but the only flag that was thrown was coach Matt LaFleur's challenge flag.

He somehow lost the challenge, with the Packers losing a 25-yard gain. The Eagles took the ball and tacked on a touchdown for a 27-20 lead. Here is LaFleur when asked about that play on Friday.
