Quarterback Jared Goff led the Lions with 298 passing yards and two touchdowns. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was a standout, catching nine passes for 122 yards and a touchdown. Goff’s ability to spread the ball kept the Packers’ defense guessing throughout the game.
Packers’ Struggles
Green Bay’s offense showed flashes of brilliance but couldn’t sustain momentum. Quarterback Jordan Love threw for 246 yards with two touchdowns but was intercepted twice. Running back Aaron Jones contributed 84 rushing yards, but Detroit’s defense limited his effectiveness in key moments.
A Statement Win
