Allen Lazard knocking a cheesehead off Jets’ Sauce Gardner is the only visible fight from the Packers right now

Sauce Gardner Allen Lazard Packers Jets Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner NFL

In a year where they expected to be championship contenders, it’s starting to look grim for the Packers (-7.5). Following two straight losses to the Giants and Jets — the latter of which was a humiliating 27-10 beatdown at home — it increasingly seems as if Green Bay has no answers to be a real player in the Super Bowl picture.

But for the young Jets — who might only be at the start of an awesome extended run together — they earned their flowers. Beating the Packers at Lambeau Field is the kind of win that young players like Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner should definitely feel emboldened to celebrate as they please.

As the Jets walked off the field on Sunday, Gardner donned a cheesehead as a clear means of trolling the Packers. This stunt evidently didn’t sit well with Allen Lazard, who seemed to run into the wrong tunnel to specifically knock the cheesehead off Gardner’s head:

You know, I don’t blame Lazard for being perturbed by an opposing player mocking the props of his team. At the same time, if you’re the Packers, you wish their players would’ve shown that kind of fight and resolve between the lines … you know, during the actual game!

At the very least, Gardner seemed to be having a blast around the field regardless:

Wear that cheesehead proud, Mr. Gardner. No one, not even the Packers’ current No. 1 receiver, can take that away from you.
