Lambeau Field usually provides one of the most hostile environments for visiting teams in the NFL, but Thursday night felt remarkably different for the Green Bay Packers. Following a humiliating 35-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in their home opener, home fans showered the team with loud boos as the offense stalled out.
Green Bay tight end Tucker Kraft did not hold back when asked about the crowd’s hostile reaction. Speaking to reporters after the game, Kraft made his feelings clear about hearing chorus after chorus of boos inside his own building. Beat reporter Matt Schneidman shared Kraft's candid response on X.
“That's pretty tough. Like everyone pictures Lambeau Field and not boos,” Kraft said. “It's pretty disappointing, especially for a home opener… It's not going to help us win. Like I don't know what people think that's going to rally us or something like that. But that's — we're grown men. We're mentally strong enough, capable enough to get back on the field and play ball. But it'd probably much easier with the 70,000 people behind us rather than opposing us.”
