Kerby Joseph pick-6 gives Lions a 17-3 lead before halftime

The Lions led 10-3 in the final minute of the first half and the main priority for Packers quarterback Jordan Love was not to turn the ball over. That didn’t happen.

Love threw an interception to Lions safety Kerby Joseph, and Joseph returned the ball 27 yards for a touchdown that gave the Lions a 17–3 lead before halftime.

The game was fairly even, apart from a few key plays that favored the Lions. That includes not only Joseph’s pick-six, but also a fourth-down touchdown pass on a gutsy call from Lions head coach Dan Campbell, and Packers coach Matt LaFleur settled for two field goal attempts, one of which missed.

But those big plays have made the difference, and the Packers have built a big lead from trailing by 14 points at halftime of a game that will have major playoff implications for both NFC North rivals.
