The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions will battle on Sunday at Lambeau Field with first place in the NFC North on the line. Refresh throughout the game to watch the latest highlights.

Packers Finally Get First Touchdown of Day

Lions 24, Packers 14 (3:49 left in the fourth quarter)

Emanuel Wilson ran it in for a 2-yard touchdown, and the Packers went for two, successfully converting when Jordan Love connected with Christian Watson.

Big Catch by Jayden Reed

Jayden Reed makes a great play on the ball on fourth down, securing an impressive catch to keep the Packers' hopes alive in the fourth quarter. However, Jordan Love threw incomplete to Dontayvion Wicks on third-and-1 from the 9 and Josh Jacobs was stuffed on fourth down.

Rain has Been Issue For Green Bay

The Packers have struggled tonight with holding onto the football, featuring five drops. The video below, coming late in the third quarter with the Packers failing to score a touchdown in a red-zone opportunity, highlights a bobbled snap from Jordan Love, showcasing the team's ongoing issues. The Packers trail 24-6 early in the fourth quarter.

Detroit Extends Lead to Start Third Quarter

Lions 24, Packers 3 (9:32 left in the third quarter)

Jahmyr Gibbs goes basically untouched, showcasing his blazing speed for a 15-yard touchdown run. If this game doesn't turn around quickly, it will be interesting to see if the Packers bring out Jordan Love in the second half of this game.

Jordan Love Makes Big-Time Mistake

Lions 17, Packers 3 (00:32 left in the second quarter)

Jordan Love was pressured and tried to scramble, but with his injuries, he seemed unable to kick it into gear. Instead of eating the ball and taking the sack or throwing it away, he opted to flip it up and ended up throwing a 27-yard pick-six to Kerby Joseph. This marks Jordan Love’s seventh straight start with an interception.

Detroit Safety Gets Ejected

Brian Branch has been ejected from the game following a helmet-to-helmet hit on Bo Melton.

Eight Penalties In First Half

The Packers have been guilty of eight penalties and dropped four passes in the first 25 minutes.

Third-Down Sack By Arron Mosby, Rashan Gary

On third-and-4, Arron Mosby and Rashan Gary met at the quarterback for a big sack of Jared Goff to force a punt. The Lions lead 7-3 midway through the second quarter.

Detroit Gets First Touchdown of Game

Lions 7, Packers 3 (14:56 left in the second quarter)

NFC Offensive Player of the Month Jared Goff finds All-Pro receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown for a 3-yard touchdown, putting Detroit up early after the Packers settled for a field goal from Brandon McManus on their opening drive.

Huge Game at Soggy Lambeau Field

As the calendar flips to November, the stakes get higher, and playoff talk is heating up. Every game matters more, and teams are locked in, knowing one misstep could derail their postseason dreams.

This week’s matchup between the Packers and Lions couldn’t come at a better time, with two NFC Players of the Month who have been tearing it up.

For Detroit, Jared Goff got the Offensive Player of the Month honors. He’s been on fire, leading an efficient, high-powered Lions offense that knows how to put points on the board and limit mistakes. He is second in the NFL in passer rating.

Across from him is Packers safety Xavier McKinney, who earned the Defensive Player of the Month. Known for his vision and timing, McKinney has been a big impact to Green Bay’s top-ranked takeaway defense. He leads the NFL with six interceptions.

McKinney gave Goff his props earlier this week, saying, “He’s playing good, man. He’s putting the ball where it needs to be. They’re running it efficiently, they’re running it smoothly, and he’s done a great job of eliminating turnovers and eliminating mistakes, really.”

McKinney praised Detroit’s ability to score consistently without giving up the ball, knowing that his defense has its hands full. He will have a key role in trying to limit the Lions’ star receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has a strong opinion about the Packers.

Reflecting on his own award, McKinney didn’t hold back, admitting, “I felt good. I mean, me personally, there was another month that I should have won it too but at the end of the day, it’s a great honor and I’m happy about it.”

This game has all the makings of a classic division showdown, with each team leaning on its star power to set the tone. Goff vs. McKinney adds an extra layer of intensity to what’s a crucial matchup between these rivals.
