Green Bay Packers snatch victory from Detroit Lions

The Green Bay Packers snatched a victory from the Detroit Lions Sunday afternoon.

Aaron Rodgers’ touchdown pass to Randall Cobb with just less than two minutes to go in the game was the game winner and improved the Packers to 7-3 and increased their winning streak to five games.

Green Bay’s defense was the star of the game, as they made key plays and created four turnovers, turning one of those into a touchdown.  M.D. Jennings interception returned for a touchdown, which happened in the earlier parts of the third quarter, really gave the Packers the boost they needed.  It gave them a 14-10 lead at the time.

The Lions stormed back and took a 20-14 lead late into the fourth quarter, but Rodgers hit Randall Cobb, who was double covered, for the go-ahead touchdown.  The Packers made a key defensive stop, kicked a field goal for good measure and sealed the victory by stopping the Lions final play.

It was going to be a tough task to stop the Lions top-rated passing attack but the Packers did a great job of slowing them down.  Matthew Stafford threw for only 266 yards and two touchdowns.  He also completed fewer than fifty percent of his passes and even though the Packers were without Clay Matthews, they sacked Stafford five times.

The defense kept the Packers in the game and really helped out the offense, which struggled most of the game.
