The Packers continued their winning streak to five games with a victory against the division rival Detroit Lions, but it wasn't easy.  Today's game from an offensive perspective was an ugly win for the team in green and gold.  Coming off the bye week, the offense was almost nonexistent.  This game continued a trend for the Packers offense struggling and seeming to not be on the same page.

Late game heroics by Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb jolted the Packers to victory as Rodgers hit Cobb for a 22-yard touchdown to give the Packers the lead for good with 1:55 remaining in the 4th quarter.  Cobb had an outstanding game with 9 catches for 74 yards and the game winning touchdown.  Jermichael Finley also had a decent game with 3 catches for 66 yards and a touchdown.

Also note: there was a little defensive by the Packers in this matchup as safety M.D. Jennings had an interception of Matthew Stafford and returned it 72 yards for a touchdown.

Green Bay Packers  7-3
Chicago Bears  7-3
Minnesota Vikings  6-4
Detroit Lions  4-6
