On third-and-8 with 3:22 remaining, Rodgers had all day against a four-man rush before finally taking off to his left and gaining 11 yards.
Jones was the first Lions receiver to top the 200-yard mark since Calvin Johnson went for 329 yards in October 2013, the second-highest total in National Football League history.
Jones gave the Lions a boost going into halftime with a 73-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to get Detroit within 31-10. And we got a win, we’re 211.
The Lions nearly pulled off another comeback after rallying to beat Indianapolis 39-35 in the season opener.
If Aaron Rodgers is “Aaron Rodgers” – the one that has won two MVP’s, that is: There will be a feeling the Packers’ offense will have turned a corner and returned to its long-missing explosive tendencies that they know they can turn to at any time.
“No question, there’s going to be good stuff we did and there’s going to be some negative stuff”, Stafford said. I’m here to put my team in the best position and win.
So much for the fuss over the Packers’ struggling offense.
But the Packers burned the secondary with big plays to build a big lead, and Eddie Lacy ran for 103 yards on 17 carries.
On multiple plays, Jones came down with the ball despite tight coverage from a Green Bay defensive back.
Lacy looked rejuvenated as he bounced off defenders for a 23-yard run in the second quarter.
