What happened: Speaking on NFL on CBS postgame coverage, Carthon said Green Bay head coach Matt LaFleur has reached his breaking point following Smack's kicking miscues.

Why it matters: Green Bay drafted the former Florida kicker to handle scoring duties, but missed opportunities proved costly in a narrow divisional loss to Detroit.

By the numbers: Trey Smack finished with 5 points in the 20-17 final between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions.

What to watch: Green Bay's upcoming transaction wire will indicate whether the front office schedules kicking workouts this week.
