Packers Coach Matt LaFleur Calls for NFL Referee Investigation After Blatant Holding Missed on Micah Parsons

Packers Coach Matt LaFleur Calls for NFL Referee Investigation After Blatant Holding Missed on Micah Parsons
Green Bay, October 13, 2025

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur has demanded an NFL investigation into refereeing after repeated uncalled holding penalties against star defensive end Micah Parsons. The frustration boiled over following the Packers' 3-1-1 record, where Parsons' impact has been blunted by what LaFleur calls "egregious" missed calls.

Parsons, acquired in a blockbuster trade from the Cowboys, has been dominant with 1.5 sacks and eight pressures, but opponents' blatant holds have gone unpunished. In the recent Bengals win, Parsons played a season-high 89% of snaps, yet LaFleur highlighted ignored infractions that altered plays.

"Certainly, it’s frustrating when it’s blatant," LaFleur said. "Those should get called, right? I do think there’s some situations, where there’s some close ones on us as well. I think as long as there’s a consistency, that’s all you want. If you're going to not call it one way, don't call it the other way."

The call for scrutiny echoes similar complaints from other teams, but LaFleur's push signals deeper concerns. Parsons has voiced frustration, noting the physical toll without flag protection. With the Packers' defense ranked No. 1, inconsistent officiating could jeopardize their Super Bowl aspirations.

NFL officials face pressure amid league-wide debates on penalty enforcement. LaFleur's demand puts the spotlight on whether referees are equipped to handle elite talents like Parsons, whose speed and power demand strict adherence to rules.

As Green Bay prepares for Week 7, LaFleur's stance underscores the stakes. Will the NFL respond with an investigation, ensuring fairness for stars like Parsons? Packers Nation awaits answers.
