Lions win big on rainy day in Green Bay

No matter the opponent, the Lions continue to win big.

Today it was the Packers at a wet and rainy Lambeau Field, in a game expected to be one of Detroit’s toughest tests. But that’s not how the match went.

The Lions jumped out to a 17-3 lead at halftime, extended it to 24-3 on their first possession of the third quarter, and then took their foot off the gas for the remainder of the second half, winning by 24 -14.

The Packers actually outgained the Lions by over 100 yards, but the Lions were in control the entire game.

A big question for the Packers is that Jordan Love still looks like he’s struggling with his knee and groin injuries, and the Packers offense has played even worse with Love in the lineup this season than it has with backup Malik Willis. The Packers need to fix their offense. At 6-3 they are still top contenders, but the way they are playing now is not good enough to beat the best teams in the league.

The Lions are playing well enough to beat anyone. At 7-1, they have the best record in the NFC, the inside track for home field advantage and the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, and a strong shot at the first Super Bowl in franchise history.
