The Lions have won 11 straight games for the first time in franchise history.
And are officially headed to the playoffs.

- The current top team in the NFL took some big punches in the second half, but responded with a fearlessness that has become their trademark. They risked overtime just to squeeze the last remaining life out of the Packers, and now they’re 12-1.
- What a Thursday game.
- WOW. Jared Goff appeared to stumble while going for the hand-off, but he still got the ball to David Montgomery, who burst through for the first down. Replay shows Goff got his foot stepped on.
- Lions can now run the clock out and kick a chip-shot field goal, because Dan Campbell has no fear.
- David Montgromery is stopped well short and the Packers should get the ball back with around 40 second left, down by three. Unless the Lions want to do something wild.
- The Lions appeared to get the first down they needed when an unpressured Jared Goff found Amon-Ra St. Brown, but the ruling is reversed. It’ll instead be 3rd-and-1 from the Green Bay 21 with 1:27 left.
- The Packers have no timeouts left, so they need a stop to have a chance here.
The outcome of this game between the Lions and Packers will snap a combined 18-game winning streak shared between Detroit, Green Bay and Minnesota. The NFC North is an absolute gauntlet outside of Chicago.

There’s nothing the Packers can do to defend the Lions’ screen game. They’ve been getting gashed all night and now they just surrendered seven yards on third-and-7 for a first down that’ll probably wind up icing the game.

And here is why that timeout Jordan Love called before third-and-9 was costly. #Packers can’t give up another first down.

- We’ve hit the two-minute warning, and the Packers aren’t in a good position. The Lions have 1st-and-10 on the Green Bay 30, so they can basically end this thing with one more first down and a field goal. Packers have two timeouts.
- Jordan Love scrambled on third down and was quickly stopped, so the Packers settle for a 32-yard field goal to tie the game. Lions will take over with 3:38 left.
#Lions DB Brian Branch is questionable to return due to cramping.

- Jordan Love appeared to find Josh Jacobs in the end zone to take back the lead, but multiple flags fly as Christian Watson gets called for OPI. Packers now have 2nd-and-goal from the 16.
- Wicks comes through again but is blasted by David Long, who probably should have been flagged for the tackle.

- Tim Patrick scored his first touchdown since 2021 tonight, after missing back-to-back seasons with a torn ACL and Achilles. He just posted his second touchdown, and it was a big one.
- The Lions made a 10-play, 70-yard touchdown look pretty effortless.
This has been Kenny Clark’s best game of the 2024 season by a good margin
