It meant a lot to interim general manager Sheldon White and interim COO Allison Maki, who’ve been put in hard situations transitioning to leadership roles midseason. Winning on the road in the National Football League is never easy. Those wins have come few and far between lately. “And that’s something that I think you would expect from your leader and a great quarterback that’s done it at such a high level”.

“It might be, so you have to continue just fighting through”.
“You see the way they play, the way they’ve battled”. He spent that season in the Steel City and was with the team when they played the Packers in the Super Bowl later that year although he wasn’t activated for the game.
One option for the Lions is rookie Alex Carter who started practicing last week after he was on injured reserve designated to return for the first half of the season.

The Packers fell to the lowly Lions 18-16, as Rodgers went 35-of-61 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns, but Green Bay didn’t even score a touchdown until 5:55 remained on the clock.
