Lions win at Green Bay for first time since 1991 in wild finish
The Detroit Lions won in Green Bay on Sunday for the first time since 1991, and it took every last second to secure the win.
Detroit held a late 18–10 lead, when Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went to work. Rodgers led a touchdown drive to bring the game within two points at 18–16. On the two-point conversion attempt to tie the game, Lions cornerback Crezdon Butler—who was signed this week after Rashean Mathis was placed on injured reserve—broke up the game-tying pass in the endzone.
But the game was far from over. The Packers recovered the ensuing onside kick after an uncharacteristic drop from Calvin Johnson. Green Bay was able to move the ball into field goal range, but Mason Crosby missed the potential game-winning kick, and the Lions finally secured a long-elusive victory at Lambeau Field.
Here are highlights from the wild finish:
