Game of momentum shifted ‘to and fro”. Disparate stats in third and fourth down efficiency converted into more Lion’s total offensive opportunities. In spite of the ‘wounded’ defensive line J. Love was mostly held in check. Deep Lion’s pass coverage is still suspect.

The real “drama” occurred at the game’s end. Against prevailing SOP D. Campbell spurned a field goal attempt on forth and one. Initially, everyone expected an attempt to draw a defensive ‘encroachment’ call against the Packers. Nope, J. Goff took the snap, stumbled and completed a hand-off the D. Montgomery who slashed through for a first down and enabled team Lions to run down the clock to almost nothing before J. bates put a ‘chip shot’ through the uprights for a tumultuous “W”.

Looking back on the season this was not out of character for the Lion’s team culture. No more playing ‘not to lose’ even if the risks are high.
