Review of Packers-Lions

A 61-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers to leaping tight end Richard Rodgers in the end zone on an untimed down lifted Green Bay to an improbable 27-23 victory at the Detroit Lions on Thursday night.

One Rodgers made the throw, another Rodgers made the catch and the Green Bay players spilled off the sideline right away, realizing they’d won.

Here is the Lions’ Devin Taylor (kind of) with his thumb in Rodgers’ face mask. The touchdown to pull the Packers within six points was the first score of the season for Adams after making 32 receptions without a catch in the end zone.

The reason for running back Eddie Lacy’s lack of involvement in the Green Bay Packers’ win over the Detroit Lions has come to light.

Perhaps Packers coach Mike McCarthy can explain why Lacy took a back seat to both James Starks and undrafted free agent John Crockett, who was promoted from the practice squad just hours before Green Bay’s win over the Lions.

“I never had a completed Hail Mary before”. “It was a phenomenal play.”. The play has been dubbed The Miracle In Miami.

-McCarthy wouldn’t say Friday who would have been the Packers’ emergency offensive lineman had another setback occurred by the end of Thursday’s game.

McCarthy called it the best throw hes seen in his 23 years in the league.

Green Bay overcame a 20-point deficit to mark the largest comeback in history against Detroit. And although that would’ve been the case even with a Green Bay loss on Thursday, the Packers are still in a far better spot than they would’ve been without the historic deep ball. “So, to bounce back and put ourselves in position to hopefully take back the North, it means a great deal”. He plays for the Lions now.

What pleased McCarthy the most was having his team rally and overcome a great deal of adversity. The Lions jumped off to a very quick 17-0 lead in the first quarter.

The Packers have some time to figure out their ground game as they have an extra few days of rest.

Three years and two Super Bowls trips later, the Seahawks have long since moved on from the game and the call. Lacy didnt make the start and had only five carries for 4 yards. It was on full display when he wound up and blasted the above 63-yarder to Alshon Jeffery in a game against the New Orleans Saints. “That’s what resulted in Eddie’s (meagre) reps”. Cincinnati defenders tipped the ball twice in the end zone, but the ball deflected to Hooks for the win, giving the Bills a berth in the AFC playoffs.

If the throw had been lower and reached the end zone faster, Richard Rodgers might not have had time to settle under it. But Aaron Rodgers tossed the ball high into the air, and it was clear someone on the Packers (8-4) would have a chance to come down with it in the end zone.
