Overview
- Keisean Nixon intercepted Caleb Williams in the final minute to seal the victory, capping a night in which Jordan Love went 17-of-25 for 234 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.
- Christian Watson caught two touchdowns and totaled 89 receiving yards, while Josh Jacobs added 86 rushing yards on 20 carries with the go-ahead score late in the fourth quarter.
- The result moved Green Bay to 9-3-1 and 4-0 in the NFC North, positioning the Packers as the NFC’s current No. 2 seed, with the rivals set to meet again in Chicago in two weeks.
- Johnson’s remark from his January introduction — that he “enjoyed beating Matt LaFleur twice a year” — resurfaced before the game, a nod to his five wins in six meetings against LaFleur as Detroit’s offensive coordinator.
- Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich said the comment was taken personally, and FOX’s Jay Glazer reported LaFleur was surprised by the jab despite previously saying he had no beef.
