Overview
- Jake Bates kicked a 22‑yard field goal as time expired to give the Detroit Lions a 20-17 win over the Green Bay Packers.
- Lions coach Dan Campbell kept with his aggressive strategy by going for it on fourth down at his own 24, a play that failed and briefly handed Green Bay good field position.
- Packers rookie kicker Trey Smack missed two field goals, including an earlier 26‑yard attempt and a late 35‑yard try that was partially deflected by D.J. Wonnum.
- Detroit recovered from two fumbles earlier in the game and answered Jordan Love’s 25‑yard touchdown to Josh Jacobs when Jared Goff drove a scoring pass to Jameson Williams.
- The loss dropped Green Bay in the NFC North and drew sharp complaints about officiating from players and TV analysts, while Detroit moves to 4-2 and now prepares for a key divisional trip.
