Their 18-16 victory over the Packers ended a 24 game losing streak in Green Bay. Either way, it was nowhere near good. For the most part, though, it was more of the same on offense. You talk about history with things not being done before or things not being done in a long time. On the next play, Aaron Rodgers stepped up in the pocket and fired a touchdown pass to Perillo, who beat linebacker Tahir Whitehead and safety Glover Quinn.

The quarterback, however, doesn’t believe McCarthy needs to take back play-calling in order to get the offense back on track. Rodgers was asked to respond to the comment after the game, and respond eloquently he did..
“We needed 19 points to win today”, Rodgers said. “I thought he really made a few clutch catches down the stretch”.
Brandon Pettigrew was the player to collect a one-yard pass from Matthew Stafford, but it was Ameer Abdullah who created the chance having returned the kickoff 104 yards before finally being brought down just a yard short of the endzone. The No. 1 draft pick shrugged off two interceptions – the first he’d thrown in a month – and benefited from a defensive holding call that wiped out his goal-line fumble on the play before the rookie faked a handoff to Doug Martin and circled around right end all alone. Rodgers threw for 333 yards, but he completed just 35 of 61 passes and his receivers struggled to get open against the Lions’ thin secondary.
According to the latest reports, the terrorist act has killed at least 129 people, with hundreds wounded in a series of attacks across Paris, including one outside the stadium where a France vs. Germany friendly soccer game was being played.
The first touchdown of the game was from the Lions with 13:33 to play in the third quarter.
Drops: Yes. It seems like, at the worst possible time, the Packers’ receivers are getting a very bad case of the drops. Regardless, the teams went into the locker room knotted up at 3-3. Detroit hadn’t defeated Green Bay on the road since a 21-17 victory on December 15, 1991. While Eddie Lacy wasn’t slated to start, he was inactive Sundaywith a groin injury. He has three TD catches in the last two games. That’s what makes them great quarterbacks. It’s the confidence with which they’re being run. The score put the Packers down by just two, 12-10.
Under pressure to produce from the boss, the Detroit Lions secured a signature win in the unlikeliest of places.
Fans say they were expecting the changes and do feel safe because of them. With the Packers trailing 18-16 and going for two with 32 seconds to go, MVP QB Aaron Rodgers went at Butler. Detroit, on the other hand? A 43-yard Golden Tate reception set the Lions up with a first-and-goal on the next possession. We didn’t want him (Rodgers) to control the game.

“One thing, when I watch the film of them-very stagnant offensively”, Warner said.
