Packers take care of Lions at home

Week 14
December 9, 2012 - 7:20 p.m. - NBC
Lambeau Field
Green Bay, Wisconsin

Packers 27 - Lions 20

Things did not start off well for the Packers against the division rival Detroit Lions on a snowy night at Lambeau Field.  Approaching the six-minute mark in the second quarter, the Lions had a controlling 14-3 lead.  The Packers hadn't really shown anything to that point.  Then, Matthew Stafford gave Mike Daniels and the Packers the ultimate gift.


The Mike Daniels' defensive touchdown sparked the momentum shift the Packers needed going into halftime.  Aaron Rodgers and newly added running back DuJuan Harris added touchdown runs in the second half to give the Packers a 27-20 victory.  This win gives the Packers 22 straight victories against the Detroit Lions at home, which is the longest streak in the NFL.

This game will definitely go down as an ugly win for the Packers.  But in Week 14, a win puts us one game closer to a second consecutive division title.

Green Bay Packers  9-4
Chicago Bears  8-5
Minnesota Vikings  7-6
Detroit Lions  4-9
