Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers, Sunday November 3

2024-11-04 10:05:02

GREEN BAY – It was a big test for the Detroit Lions Sunday outdoors for the first time this season in rainy and windy elements in the hostile environment that is Lambeau Field. They passed with flying colors.

A mistake-free game coupled with another complete team effort from all three phases resulted in a 24-14 win as Detroit maintains first place in the NFC North and the No. 1 seed in the NFC, pushing their record to 7-1. The Lions are 2-0 in the division with impressive road wins at Minnesota and Green Bay.

Green Bay opened the scoring on their first drive of the game, marching 63 yards in 14 plays but they had to settle for a Brandon McManus 30-yard field goal for a 3-0 lead.

Detroit countered with an impressive 13-play, 70-yard drive capped off by a 3-yard Jared Goff to Amon-Ra St. Brown touchdown on 4th & goal. It’s the sixth straight game in which St. Brown has caught a touchdown pass, tying the franchise record set by Herman Moore in 1984 and giving Detroit a 7-3 lead.

Midway through the second quarter with the Packers facing a 2nd & 20 at their own 38-yard line, Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw an incomplete pass to Bo Melton but Lions safety Brian Branch was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Melton. Branch was ejected for the hit and flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the way out, which gave Green Bay the ball at the Detroit 32-yard line. Green Bay eventually missed a 46-yard field goal to end the drive.

Detroit pushed the lead to 10-3 in the final minute of the first half on a Jake Bates 27-yard field goal.
