GREEN BAY, Wis. — Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft's low block on Patrick Jones apparently didn't lead to any serious injury for the Minnesota Vikings edge rusher. But it did produce plenty of debate between the two NFC North rivals. The play occurred during the second quarter as Kraft was trying to create running room for Josh Jacobs on a 5-yard carry. Vikings edge rusher Jonathan Greenard went on social media to criticize Kraft's block. The block didn't result in a penalty. Packers coach Matt LaFleur defended what Kraft did and called it a "totally legal play."
