Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers

No more questions or jokes. “The 5’10” Cobb is in his fifth season out of Kentucky and has been targeted a team-high 68 times. “The whole family, which is good”.

It was a game with a lot of twists, but Detroit pulled off a miracle, beating the Green Bay Packers Sunday 18-16 at Lambeau Field.

In late October, Ditka was seen wearing a Packers jersey, and a few days later it was revealed that the stunt was part of a promotion for a new contest at McDonald’s.

“It might be, so you have to continue just fighting through”.

Montgomery is also a key part of an offense that’s been struggling to get in rhythm, and without Sam Shields, Johnson could end up having an extremely great Sunday afternoon.

Thanks to two missed extra points by Lions kicker Matt Prater, the Packers had a chance to tie the game with a two-point conversion following a touchdown in the final minute of the game. That 24-game losing streak to the Packers, including the playoffs, is no more. On the ground, Joique Bell rushed for 56 yards in seven attempts.

“I bet nobody gave us a chance, but that’s the way we like it”, Stafford said. “I jumped too early, didn’t pull it in”. Aaron Rodgers has been putting up strong numbers and he comes into the game with 1937 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and three interceptions.

A sluggish game filled with three-and-outs turned into a thriller in the fourth quarter.

As American football resumed on Sunday, many of us headed to our favorite team’s stadiums or settled in to our couches, looking for a brief respite from the horrors that befell Paris on Friday night.

The first touchdown of the game was from the Lions with 13:33 to play in the third quarter.

Nevin Lawson, the second-year cornerback making just his second career start for the injured Rashean Mathis, was targeted by Rodgers 14 times by my count.

“And he was able to do it, so it’s a big credit to him and the defense”. The Packers are coming off of back to back losses, which is something that is entirely uncharacteristic of Aaron Rodgers.

Lambeau Field has hosted the most home team wins in the NFL.

Green Bay took possession at its 27 and used a 19-yard screen to running back James Starks, a 12-yard pass to tight end Justin Perillo and a 9-yard screen to Starks to advance to the Lions’ 29 with 51 seconds remaining.

With the win, Detroit goes to (2-7).

But the Lions offense came right back with a drive that should have put the game away. He has thrown 11 interceptions and been sacked 22 times while posting a passer rating of just 84.1. This week they get an excellent shot at redemption against a very weak Lions team. “That’s why you have to play well so that those kinds of things don’t happen”.

“There was no one else out there who was familiar with our system”, Caldwell said of Butler, who had been with the team during mini-camp and OTAs this spring.
