Lions battle through rain and boisterous Lambeau crowd to beat Packers

Some believed that Detroit Lionswho played their first outdoor game of the season on Sunday, would not be as dominant as they have been all season with a 6-1 record.

Well, go 7-1 as the Lions dominated their NFC North rival Green Bay Packers in the rain to retain first place in the division with a 24-14 victory.

It may have only been a 10-point difference, but the Lions were there all game long on both sides of the ball in this sloppy weather-wise game.

And the tone was set when the Lions got off the bus, as star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown wore a black hoodie that read “GREENBAY SUCKS” on the front, showing just how heated this rivalry is .

St. Brown also backed up its trash talk, scoring the game’s first touchdown on a tough grab in the left front of the end zone to go up 7-3. He didn’t do a “Lambeau Leap” this time after last year’s attempt resulted in a Packers fan pouring beer on him.

Instead, St. Brown, who totaled 56 yards on seven receptions, did a handstand to the amazement of his teammates.

But with rainy conditions, the two-headed monster in the Lions backfield David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs totaled 138 rushing yards, the latter finding the end zone on a 4th-and-1 play in the third quarter, which was Detroit’s only touchdown of the second half.

Montgomery finished the game with 73 yards on 17 carries, while Gibbs had 65 yards on 11 rushing touches.

For the Packers, Jordan Love threw for 273 yards, but he couldn’t find the end zone all night. However, he threw an interception which cost his team six points.

Late in the first half, Kirby Joseph picked off Love, who was looking to pass the ball to running back Josh Jacobs. And Joseph came back to give his team a 17-3 lead at the time.

The Lions, who got the ball back to start the second half, saw Gibbs reach the colored paint, and the 24-3 lead showed everyone what they were already thinking: This is the best team in NFC.

Detroit did it in multiple ways, but it was the Packers who looked better on the stat sheet as Jacobs had 95 rushing yards on 13 carries, while Jayden Reed had a game-high 113 receiving yards on five catches, including one from 41 yards. .

The only touchdown scored for the Packers came from Emanuel Wilson, who rushed from two yards out with 3:49 left in the fourth quarter.
