GREEN BAY – Sunday was a big outdoor test for the Detroit Lions for the first time this season in rainy and windy elements in the hostile environment that is Lambeau Field. They passed with flying colors.

A flawless game combined with another full team effort from all three phases resulted in a 24-14 victory as Detroit maintained the top spot in the NFC North and the No. 1 seed in the NFC, bringing their record to 7-1. The Lions are 2-0 in the division with impressive road wins in Minnesota and Green Bay.

Green Bay opened the scoring on their first drive of the game, marching 63 yards in 14 plays, but they had to settle for a Brandon McManus 30-yard field goal for a 3–0 lead.

Detroit countered with an impressive 13-play, 70-yard drive capped by a 3-yard Jared Goff to Amon-Ra St. Brown touchdown on 4th and goal. It marks the sixth straight game in which St. Brown has caught a touchdown pass, tying Herman Moore’s 1984 franchise record and giving Detroit a 7-3 lead.

Midway through the second quarter, with the Packers facing a 2nd-and-20 at their own 38-yard line, Packers quarterback Jordan Love threw an incomplete pass to Bo Melton, but Lions safety Brian Branch was flagged for unnecessary roughness due to a helmet-to- helmet hit on Melton. Branch was ejected for the hit and was flagged for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the way out, giving Green Bay the ball at the Detroit 32-yard line. Green Bay ultimately missed a 46-yard field goal to end the drive.

Detroit pushed the lead to 10-3 in the final minute of the first half on a 27-yard Jake Bates field goal.
