Kraft Says Lambeau Boos Won’t Help Packers Win

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft said the boos from fans at Lambeau Field after the team’s 35-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons were disappointing and would not help the team win. He added that the players could recover, but that support from the crowd would make the task easier. The loss came in Green Bay’s first home game of the season and left the Packers with a 1-2 record after three games, according to reports. Fans booed during the defeat, and Kraft was asked about their reaction afterward. His remarks addressed both the atmosphere at Lambeau and the team’s ability to move forward. “It’s pretty disappointing, especially for a home opener,” Kraft said, adding that the boos were not going to help the team win. He also said the players were mentally strong enough to return to the field and play, but that it would be easier with the crowd behind them rather than opposing them. Kraft finished the game with four receptions for 26 yards. One account also reported that he had eight targets and dropped passes. He acknowledged that his performance fell short of his standards, according to postgame coverage.
