Warm day at Lambeau Field puts heat on Packers’ O-linemen and causes one to vomit on football

Associated Press  

GREEN BAY, Wis. — One of the hottest games at Lambeau Field in several decades had some unintended — and messy — consequences. At one point during Green Bay’s 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, Packers coach Matt LaFleur asked quarterback Malik Willis why he didn’t throw on a particular play. The weather made Sunday’s game particularly demanding for Green Bay’s offensive line on a day when the Packers ran the ball 53 times for 261 yards. Green Bay’s 53 carries were its highest single-game total since 1978, when the Packers ran the ball 54 times in a 10-10 tie with the Minnesota Vikings. Myers said he also threw up during the Packers’ season-opening 34-29 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept. 6 in Brazil.
