However, there were some big breaks involved. For instance, the Lions had a third-and-five situation coming out of the two-minute warning. They needed a first down and were gifted one. The Packers jumped offsides, and Detroit players celebrated by spamming every emote they knew by heart.
This gave them an automatic first down, giving them the chance to drain the clock. Detroit almost gave Green Bay hope again later on, as Penei Sewell was called for a false start. But Jahmyr Gibbs picked up a crucial first down to set up the game-winning field goal.
The Packers have fallen to 4-3 on the season following this loss. Green Bay is now last place in the NFC North as a result. This loss also snapped an impressive three-game winning streak. The Packers have a short week as they take on the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 8.
As for the Lions, they have moved to 4-2. This win takes them out of last place in the NFC North and into third. Detroit is undefeated at home and must bring their A-game next week if they want to keep it that way. The Lions will take on the undefeated Minnesota Vikings on November 1 at Ford Field.
