The Packers started with the possession of the ball and after a very good start of the drive alternating quick passes to WRs to screens to HB and WR but once they arrived close to the red zone they haven't been able to advance due to a pair of inaccurate passes by Rodgers so Crosby kicked a FG that with luck hit the post and fell inside the up rights. Since that kick nothing happened offensively for the rest of the first quarter and nothing changed in the second one until the last minute of it where the Lions got the ball around midfield and with 3 timeouts left they have been able to reach the FG range thanks to a good drive by Stafford who passed the ball quickly targeting Megatron multiple times, they have been stopped short of the end zone so Prater made a game tying FG.
The second half started in a way more exciting way thanks to the Adbullah 99.5 yards kick off return who brought his team inches away from the end zone, the end zone that they reached on 3rd down thanks to a play action on a fake reverse that ended with a Pettigrew's TD but they missed the extra point.
Detroit continue to show the better thing offensively but once they were coming closer to the end zone Stafford and his WR Lance Moore weren't on the same page and while the Lions's WR was running a post route he passed the ball short and Ha Ha Clinton Dix made a key interception but his offense has been kicked out off the field with another quick 3 and out who gave Lions' offense another good field position that this time thanks to some Megatron's catches came in FG where Prater kicked a good 51 yards' one to give his team a 12-3 lead over the Packers. The home team patience with referees ended on Lawson's suspicious contact that should be easy called as pass interference that ended another scoreless drive for Green Bay.
The Packers scoreless streak ended thanks to the best drive of the day by Rodgers who had to fight not only against the defense but also against the drop passes and o-line's penalties, he used the no huddle offense for the most of the drive and the result gave him credit, the drive concluded when TE Richard Rodgers received the ball in the end zone to cut the deficit at 2. Detroit received the kick off and with less than 6 minutes to play didn't just waste time but they marched down field right into the end zone thanks to a good balanced drive and some key receptions by Megatron, ended by Tate receiving TD but Prater missed again the extra point leaving just 1 full possession between the 2 teams. Again the no huddle offense of the Packers put in trouble the Lions defense even due to the multiple injuries on Lions DB's, they scored a TD, a receiving one and the first of his young career by TE Perillo, after that they tried the 2 points conversion but Adams dropped the fade pass in the end zone. The last chance for Green Bay came when they recovered the onside kick due to a Megatron's mistake to catch the ball, a very unusual one. They arrived in the FG range but Crosby missed it a way short to give the Lions their first win in Lambeua since 1991!!!
MVP: Lawson ( who made an outstanding 1 on 1 coverage all game long )
