Who woulda thunk it? The Lions absolutely man-handled the Packers 40-10 to get themselves back in the drivers seat for the Division title.
After two really bad losses, this win is mucho importante. (awwwyeah fake Spanish.)
The Lions put up 600 yards of offense. AND turned the ball over four times. It was nice to see the Lions not let setbacks kill them like they did the past two weeks.
Imagine if they had taken care of business against Pittsburgh and Tampa?
The Army of Cheeseheads will of course point to the fact hat Rodgers did not play. But let's face the facts children. Flynn was sacked seven times. Rodgers would have been pretty much just as ineffective if the Packers blocked the same way.
This game was won on the because the Lions dominated the trenches. Green Bay could not run nor could they stop the run. And when you can't stop the Lions from running, Matthew Stafford is going to have a very good day, and he did, minus his interceptions.
This was the best the Lions looked pretty much all season.
But if they want to be a real playoff threat, they have got to cut down the turnovers.
Four turnovers in a playoff game won't end this well.
It's just nice to see the Lions overcome the typical Lions mistakes.
Enjoy this win Lions fans, and of course, Happy Thanksgiving.
