Lions Make Packers Look Lifeless
It appeared as if the Detroit Lions were going to go three-and-out on there first drive until Mike Daniels committed a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty. It eventually led to a 25-yard touchdown reception by Marvin Jones Jr. from Matthew Stafford and the Lions won 30-17.

With Green Bay trailing 20-3 in the fourth, Brett Hundley scored on a 1-yard rush. He completed 26-of-38 passes for 245. Hundley also rushed for 22 yards on four carries and a score. The Packers play calling was predictable all night long and they didn't take any deep shots down the field.
