TKO TITLETOWN: Lions shock Pack 18-16 on sloppy Sunday
New Freedom native Ron Wolf is about to receive one more honor in an already memorable year for the former Green Bay Packers general manager.
Stafford’s game-winning touchdown was a four-yard dish to Moore, which gave Detroit an 18-10 lead with 1:57 left to play.
“After we review it, we’re going to flush this, and we’re going to get on to Minnesota next week. I like the way our staff works, and I like the way they work with our players”. Meanwhile, Detroit will head home for a battle against the Oakland Raiders, who are 4-5 this season behind the arm of Derek Carr.
Even at its best, Detroit hasn’t won in Green Bay since 1991. Adams dropped the two-point conversion pass in the end zone, but Packers rookie cornerback Damarious Randall grabbed the onside kick after Johnson was unable to handle it.

Rodgers was 35 of 61 for 333 yards, but wasn’t at his best.
What went into the terrible afternoon was an anemic offensive effort, poor tackling on defense and a special teams unit that surrendered a 104-yard kickoff return to Detroit running back Ameer Abdullah. Afterward, we’ll look ahead to Week 11 to see what’s in store for both teams. Prater missed the extra point, but the Lions jumped in front 9-3.
Matthew Stafford threw for two touchdowns and 242 yards for the Lions (2-7). Not that it mattered.
Somehow, despite all of that, the worst team in the National Football League somehow led the misfiring Packers 18-10 with just 36 seconds remaining.
-WR Davante Adams caught 10 passes for 79 yards but was targeted a whopping 21 times. A short punt by Tim Masthay gave Detroit the ball inside Packer territory, but the “D” stiffened and the Packers were back in business. Rodgers hasn’t made the fatal mistake that lesser quarterbacks tend to make when things aren’t going well, but on Sunday he was off target, hesitant and – perhaps most shockingly – looked like any other Average Joe QB until the frantic late-game comeback bid.
It was incredible that Rodgers almost finished an improbable rally with a lot of Justin Perilllo, Richard Rodgers and Jared Abbrederis as his most reliable pass-catchers in crunch time.
Has the defensive line found a way to get to the quarterback in ways it did in the first six games of the season, but which it hasn’t done in two sackless games against Denver and Carolina? The Packers are suddenly 6-3, and forget their once Super Bowl 50 favorite status – it’s evident it will be a grind to just win the NFC North again and get into the playoffs in a few way. “And he came up and made a big play”.
