Overview
- On Sunday, with about 4:50 left in a tie game, the Lions went for it on fourth-and-one from their own 24 and the play was stopped in the backfield.
- The Packers took over in short field position and were held to a 35-yard field-goal attempt that Detroit blocked after the defense forced the kick.
- Detroit regained possession later and drove for a game-winning field goal to secure a 20-17 victory.
- Campbell told reporters he believed the fourth-down try would succeed and accepted the failure risk because he expected his team would get the ball back with time to answer.
- Tomlin defended the decision on NBC as a situational, possession-focused gamble and noted the call was unusually aggressive, the first such go-for-it inside a team’s 25 in a tie game since his 2014 fake punt.
