GB parlays the fourth-down stop into a 51-yard bomb from Love to Christian Watson, giving the Packers a 24-14 lead with 10:31 left in the third. Love now has thrown 3 TD's to three different receivers.
The Green Bay Packers, so shaky for so many weeks, put together their signature performance of the season by beating the Detroit Lions 31-24 on Thanks
Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers took part in a massive Thanksgiving feast after their 31-24 win over the Lions.
The Lions were bested at their own game as the Packers converted all three of their fourth-down tries on Thursday.
The Green Bay Packers’ offense had been operating at high efficiency only sporadically for most of the season. And then tight end Tucker Kraft suffere
The Packers started hot and kept the Lions at arm’s length the rest of the game. Detroit never led. The Packers made numerous plays on each side of the ball, just like they did in the season opener.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur stole a page from Lions coach Dan Campbell, going for it on fourth down three times with success.
Micah Parsons’ sack essentially ended the Packers’ signature win this season, a 31-24 victory against the host Lions on Thanksgiving
Jordan Love was 18-of-30 for 234 yards and a season-high four touchdowns with a 124.2 passer rating. After 213 receiving yards through nine games, Dontayvion Wicks caught six passes for a career-high 94 yards and two touchdowns. Defensive end Micah Parsons finished with 2.5 sacks.
Referee Ron Torbert said during the pool report following Green Bay's 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions that officials heard Packers' head coach Matt LaFleur call a timeout before a false start was called on a 4th-and-1 attempt in the second quarter.
Former first-round pick Lukas Van Ness has also benefited from the addition of Parsons when he's been on the field. However, Van Ness has been out with an injury, and with Devonte Wyatt out as well, they will need other pass rushers to step up.
If Jordan Love continues to play like he has the past couple of weeks, and gets healthy, the possibilities for the Packers will only grow.
