AGO, AND THEY WILL RECEIVE, A RARITY IN TODAY’S NFL. SPANISH LANGUAGE BROADCAST IS AVAILABLE TODAY ON FOX DEPORTES. THE LIONS WILL KICK IT OFF. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. THANKS FOR JOINING US TODAY. LET’S GET THIS GOING. KEISEAN NIXON, ONE OF THE MOST ELECTRIC RETURNERS IN THE GREEN, IS BACK DEEP FOR GREEN BAY. AND HERE WE GO. THIS ONE, THOUGH, HE’LL LET SAIL OVER HIS HEAD, AND SO THE PACKERS WILL START ON THE 25 YARD LINE WITH JORDAN LOVE, AS YOU TALKED ABOUT. HE’S STARTING TO PLAY A LOT BETTER THE LAST FEW WEEKS. >> Greg: HE REALLY HAS AND THAT’S WHERE THE OPTIMISM LIES FOR THIS PACKERS ORGANIZATION. THEY KNEW THERE WOULD BE UPS AND DOWNS. THERE IS NO TEAM IN THE NFL THAT RELIES ON MORE FIRST AND SECOND YEAR PLAYERS THAN THIS GREEN BAY OFFENSE, PRIMARILY AT THE SKILLED POSITIONS. THEY’VE STARTED TO FIND THEIR GROOVE THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. HE’S COMING OFF THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF HIS YOUNG CAREER, LAST WEEK IN THE COME-BEHIND WIN AGAINST L.A. >> Kevin: WE START WITH A.J. DILLON IN THE BACKFIELD. IT’S A FAKE. LOVE PROTECTED. LOVE GOING DEEP. CHRISTIAN WATSON, THE INTENDED RECEIVER. AND HE’S GOT IT. A BIG PLAY UP TOP ON THE FIRST PLAY, AND WHAT A START FOR THESE PACKERS. WATSON FOR 53. >> Greg: I THINK THEY WERE LISTENING TO OUR OPEN ON CAMERA. THEY SAID THEY’VE GOT TO THROW IT DEEP EARLY AND OFTEN. CHRISTIAN WATSON HAS KIND OF HAD AN UP AND DOWN SEASON. HE’S THEIR BIG PLAY THREAT DOWN THE FIELD. BALL SLIGHTLY UNDER-THROWN. WOW, WHAT A WAY TO START THE DAY. >> Kevin: THEY TAKE THE BALL AFTER WINNING THE COIN FLIP AND GO UP TOP FOR 53 YARDS TO START IT OFF. LOVE OVER THE MIDDLE. WATSON GETS DECKED, BUT HANGS ON. GETS DOWN TO THE 14 YARD LINE. TWO WATCHES FOR WATSON ALREADY. HIS MAX IN A GAME THIS YEAR IS THREE. THEY’RE GOING TO NEED HIM TODAY BECAUSE THEIR OFFENSE IS BANGED UP BEYOND BELIEF. THEIR BACKUP BACK IS OUT. LUKE MUSGRAVE, THE STARTING TIGHT END, THEY’RE ALL OUT TODAY. >> Greg: I THINK THE COMBINATION OF THE INJURIES YOU JUST COVERED AND HOW GOOD THIS DETROIT LIONS TEAM IS, TOP FIVE IN THE LEAGUE AGAINST THE RUN. A LOT OF TODAY IS GOING TO BE SHOULDERED BY THE RIGHT ARM OF JORDAN LOVE. >> Kevin: HERE IS A.J. DILLON, RIGHT SIDE. JUST POWERING HIS WAY THROUGH. TRUCKING FOR A FIRST DOWN, DOWN AROUND THE 10. IT SHOULD BE A FIRST DOWN. THIS LIONS DEFENSE, THEY’VE BEEN PRETTY GOOD FOR THE MOST PART THIS YEAR, A COUPLE OF BUMPS ALONG THE WAY. THEY’VE COME A LONG WAY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF LAST YEAR. >> Greg: THAT’S THE BIGGEST THING, IN COMPARISON THROUGH HALFWAY OF LAST SEASON, THEY WERE PRETTY MUCH AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE IN PRETTY MUCH EVERY SIGNIFICANT CATEGORY. THEIR RAPID IMPROVEMENT AND GROWTH OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF IS A BIG KEY TO WHY THE TEAM’S SUCCESS HAS FOLLOWED. AS YOU SAID, THEY’VE HAD A FEW BUMPS IN THE ROAD IN SOME GAMES WHERE THEY’VE GIVEN UP 35 POINTS. >> Kevin: FIRST AND GOAL, A.J. DILLON. RIGHT SIDE, AND RUNS RIGHT INTO A TACKLE. DOWN HE GOES. WALKER WAS THERE. >> Greg: TRYING TO USE THE YOUNG ROOKIE RECEIVER JAYDEN REED AS A BLOCK F. A WELL-DESIGNED PLAY. HE JUST RUNS RIGHT BY THE SAFETY. HE GETS EYES UP THERE EARLIER ON WALKER. THAT THING MIGHT HAVE BEEN A TOUCHDOWN. >> Kevin: SECOND AND GOAL. FOUR-MAN RUSH. QUICK OVER THE MIDDLE. CAUGHT. REED IS IN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN! WHAT A START FOR THE PACKERS, A TEN-YARD SCORE TO JAYDEN REED. >> Greg: WE SEE JAYDEN REED’S ROLE ON THE TEAM, HE’S NOT THERE TO MAKE BLOCKS IN THE HOLE. HE’S THERE TO MAKE CONTESTED CATCHES IN THE RED ZONE. A LITTLE INSIDE ONE-STEP SLANT. YOU CAN’T THROW THIS BALL ANY BETTER. LOOK AT THE BALL PLACEMENT, RIGHT BETWEEN THE 1s, RIGHT OFF THE EAR OF CHRISTIAN WATSON. HE KNEW THE PASSING GAME WOULD HAVE TO BE A BIG ELEMENT TO KEEP PACE WITH DETROIT. MATT LaFLEUR, WINS THE TOSS, AND THEY COME OUT FIRING. >> Kevin: AND THERE’S CARLSON FOR THE POINT AFTER, AND IT’S GOOD. WOW, PACKERS TAKE THE TOSS, WIN IT. THEY GO UP TOP TO CHRISTIAN WATSON FOR 53 ON THE FIRST PLAY2 YEARS, JOHN PASSED AWAY IN 2021. GREAT TO SEE THEM WITH US TODAY. WE’RE CERTAINLY THINKING OF YOU ALL TODAY, AND GLAD WE CAN JOIN YOUR FAMILY CELEBRATION. HERE IN DETROIT, PACKERS GET THE OPENING KICKOFF AND GO DOWN THE FIELD. CHRISTIAN WATSON RIGHT THERE, MORE YARDS ON THAT DRIVE THAN IN SIX OF HIS SEVEN GAMES PLAYED THIS YEAR. THAT’S A BIG DEAL. THEY’VE BEEN TRYING TO GET HIM GOING AND THEY SURE DO TO START. NOW DETROIT, WE’LL SEE HOW THEY ANSWER. KHALIL DORSEY FROM HIS OWN END ZONE, WITH A GOOD SEAM. DORSEY UP ACROSS THE 25. THAT’S WHERE WE’LL SEE THE LIONS AND THIS EXPLOSIVE OFFENSE. THEY’RE NUMBER TWO IN THE NFL, GREG. AND I KNOW YOU LOVE THE WAY THEY’VE PUT IT TOGETHER. >> Greg: THIS IS MY FAVORITE TYPE OF STYLE OF OFFENSE IN THE LEAGUE. I THINK BEN JOHNSON, THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR, ALONG WITH JARED GOFF, OVER THE LAST 20 GAMES, NO TEAM IN THE LEAGUE HAS WON MORE THAN THE DETROIT LIONS. I’M NOT SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE REALIZE THAT. JARED GOFF CONTINUES TO PLAY AT A HIGH LEVEL. TURNOVERS HAVE BEEN SLIGHTLY AN ISSUE OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. INTERESTING FORMATION HERE, STARTING WITH THE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN IN THE BACKFIELD. >> Kevin: JUMBO HERE. DAVID MONTGOMERY. GAVE IT TO MONTGOMERY, AND HE GETS NOT MUCH. MAYBE A YARD. PRESTON SMITH WAS IN TO TAKE CARE OF HIM. AND SO THIS OFFENSE SO EXPLOSIVE. JARED GOFF PLAYING GREAT. AMON-RA ST. BROWN, ONE OF THE REAL GEMS WAS THAT KIND OF A SECRET FOR A WHILE, NOW ONE OF THE TOP PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE. >> Greg: IT’S REMARKABLE, THE CONSISTENCY WEEK IN, WEEK OUT. OPERATES A TON IN THE SLOT WHERE YOU SEE HIM HERE AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN. HE IS JUST SUCH A DYNAMIC WEAPON, OPERATING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. >> Kevin: SECOND DOWN, GOING TO RUN IT AGAIN. MONTGOMERY TRIES TO GET TO THE EDGE. JONATHAN OWENS FROM THE SECONDARY CAME UP TO MAKE THE STOP FOR THIS PACKERS D. GREG, WE TOLD YOU THEIR OFFENSE WAS BANGED UP. THEIR DEFENSE IS A MESS TODAY WITH INJURIES. THEY’VE GOT THREE OF THEIR STARTERS IN THE SECONDARY OUT, De’VONDRE CAMPBELL, THEIR BEST LINEBACKER OUT. >> Greg: HOW DO THEY DECIDE TO PLAY THIS STYLE OF OFFENSE? IT’S THE PLAY ACTION PASS THAT REALLY GETS YOU AND YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL HOW MANY GUYS YOU REMOVE FROM COVERAGE TO COMMIT TO THE RUN GAME. >> Kevin: HERE IS GOFF ON THIRD DOWN. HE’S GOT WILLIAMS. JAMESON WILLIAMS HAS A FIRST DOWN. >> Greg: YOU SEE JAMESON WILLIAMS START ON THE RIGHT SIDE. QUAY WALKER, THE INSIDE BACKER, HAS TO DO A BETTER JOB GETTING HANDS ON HIM. THEY’RE ASKING THE CORNER, VALENTINE, TO RUN ALL THE WAY ACROSS ON THAT MESH CONCEPT, AND THE SPEED OF JAMESON WILLIAMS, HE’S JUST GOING TO RUN AWAY FROM YOU. >> Kevin: RUNNING AGAIN, WITH MONTGOMERY. NOT MUCH THERE. WELL, YOU LOOK AT — WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ALL THE INJURIES FOR GREEN BAY. IT’S 17 PLAYERS ON THE INACTIVE LIST TODAY. HERE ARE SOME OF THE BIG NAMES, AARON JONES, MAYBE YOUR TOP PLAY MAKER, MUSGRAVE, YOUR BEST LINEBACKER IN CAMPBELL. I MEAN, IT’S CRAZY. >> Greg: REMEMBER AT THE TRADE DEADLINE, THEY TRADED DOUGLAS TO BUFFALO BECAUSE OF THE ASCENSION OF CARRINGTON VALENTINE. >> Kevin: HERE IS GOFF LOOKING FOR JAHMYR GIBBS. GIBBS IS A RUNNING BACK, BUT THEY THROW HIM OUT AT WIDE RECEIVER A LOT, TOO. CARL CHEFFERS IS OUR REFEREE THIS AFTERNOON. >> Referee: PASS INTERFERENCE, NUMBER 7, DEFENSE. SPOT OF THE FOUL. AUTOMATIC FIRST DOWN. >> Greg: ANY TIME JARED GOFF SEES THE MATCHUP OF GIBBS, YOU SEE THE CONTACT DOWNFIELD, DISRUPTING THAT ROUTE. AND THAT’S A HARD MATCHUP FOR ANY LINEBACKER. THEY USE GIBBS OUT OF THE BACKFIELD, HE’S ALMOST A PSEUDO RUNNING BACK, SLASH WIDE RECEIVER. IF THEY’RE GOING TO MAJOR IN THIS MAN COVERAGE, THERE’S GOING TO BE MISMATCHES HERE DEFENDING THIS LIONS OFFENSE. >> Kevin: THEY’VE GOT TWO TIGHT END JUMBO FORMATION. GOFF HAS ALL DAY. THERE’S A CATCH BY LaPORTA, INSIDE THE 10. AND THE LIONS ON THE MOVE. IT WILL BE FIRST AND GOAL OF A 31 YARD GAIN. >> Greg: THIS IS THE LIONS OFFENSE, THIS IS HOW THEY WANT TO OPERATE. EARLY DOWN PLAY ACTION PASS, LET THE RECEIVER CLEAR THE ZONE AND, I’LL TELL YOU, SAM LaPORTA, THE LAST CROP OF YOUNG TIGHT ENDS THAT HAVE COME INTO THE LEAGUE, I’M NOT SURE IF THERE’S BEEN A MORE WELL-ROUNDED, WELL-PREPARED GUY TO PLAY AT THIS LEVEL, BOTH THE RUN AND PASS, THAN WHAT WE’VE SEEN FROM THE YOUNG ROOKIE. HE’S BEEN FANTASTIC, NOT JUST AS A RECEIVER, BUT THEY ALSO ASK HIM TO DO A TON IN THE RUN GAME. >> Kevin: FIRST AND GOAL. MONTGOMERY. AND HE HAS NOWHERE TO GO. WELL PLAYED BY THE PACKERS. DAN CAMPBELL IN HIS THIRD YEAR HAS DONE JUST A MAGNIFICENT JOB, REALLY HAS. HE TOOK THIS TEAM, WHICH WAS IN A LOT OF LOSING SITUATIONS AND A LOT OF LOSING SEASONS, AND TURNED THEM AROUND INTO NOT ONLY A CONTENDER, BUT, GREG, YOU SAID IT, A REAL CHANCE TO GET THE NUMBER ONE SEED IN THE NFC. FIRST THINGS FIRST, TAKING ON THE PACKERS HERE TODAY. DOWN 7-0, AND IT’S SECOND AND GOAL. GOFF, OVER THE MIDDLE. FIRES. IT’S CAUGHT FOR THE TOUCHDOWN, SAM LaPORTA. >> Greg: USUALLY WHEN TEAMS TRY THREE TIGHT ENDS, THERE’S ANOTHER OFF THE SCREEN TO YOUR RIGHT. EVERYONE IS THINKING BRING IN BIG BODIES, PERSONNEL. WHAT DO THEY DO? THEY SPREAD THEM OUT AND THROW IT SHORT TO SAM LaPORTA. WE JUST TALKED ABOUT HIS ROUTE RUNNING, HIS ABILITY IN ZONE. HE’S A GOOD TIGOOD, AND SO MAKE IT 7-6. BUT THE LIONS ANSWER ON THEIR OPENING DRIVE, GO DOWN AND SCORE. A COUPLE OF BIG PLAYS. SAM LaPORTA FINISHES IT OFF WITH A TOUCHDOWN.N HANCOCK JUNIOR CO. WHAT WE’RE TELLING YOU, IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THE LIONS HAVE BEEN THIS GOOD. >> Greg: GOT IT. NOTED. >> Kevin: THAT’S THE LAST TIME THEY WERE 8-2. AND AFTER GREEN BAY WENT DOWN THE FIELD, THEY ANSWERED. SAM LaPORTA, TOUCHDOWN CATCH. THE EXTRA POINT WAS MISSED BY PATTERSON, HIS FIRST OF THE YEAR. AND NOW THE PACKERS WILL GET IT ON THEIR SECOND POSSESSION. HOW ABOUT THE TOUCHDOWN? >> Greg: WE SEE THE FINAL FORMATION, BUT LOOK HOW MANY GUYS ARE IN THE BOX IN THIS SPREAD FORMATION. IT’S BECAUSE MITCHELL, THE TIGHT END, HE STARTED IN MOTION. SO THE GREEN BAY HAS A BIGGER BODY, A MORE BASE DEFENSE. ALL THEY DO IS WORK THE BACK SIDE SHORT. SAM LaPORTA, GOFF DOES A GREAT JOB HOLDING OWENS, THE FREE SAFETY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. GREAT ADJUSTMENT BY LaPORTA THERE, THE BACK SHOULDER. THAT’S HIGH LEVEL FOOTBALL. >> Kevin: DILLON, UP THE FIELD HE GOES FOR A SHORT GAIN. SO INTERESTING TO SEE WITHOUT AARON JONES EXACTLY HOW THE PACKERS TREAT THE RUNNING BACK. THEY HAD TO BRING BACK PATRICK TAYLOR, HE WAS ON THE PATRIOTS PRACTICE SQUAD. THEY CALL UP JAMES ROBINSON, THE FORMER JAGUAR THAT HAD 1,000 YARD SEASONS, THEY CALLED HIM UP BECAUSE THERE WAS A CONNECTION THERE WITH MATT LaFLEUR, HIS BROTHER COACHED HIM WITH THE JETS. SO ANY RUNNING BACK HEALTHY, COME ON UP TO THE PACKERS. YOU MIGHT PLAY TODAY. DILLON IS BANGED UP, TOO, WITH A GROIN INJURY. SECOND DOWN. LOVE FIRES OVER THE MIDDLE, AND IT’S CAUGHT AGAIN. MALIK HEATH, WHO HAD HIS FIRST CATCH OF THE YEAR LAST YEAR, DELIVERS FOR A FIRST DOWN. >> Greg: AND THE STRENGTH OF THIS GREEN BAY OFFENSIVE LINE IS THEIR PASS PROTECTION. LOOK AT HOW MUCH TIME, HE MOVES A LITTLE OFF HIS SPOT, AND THEN A REALLY NICE ARM ACTION THERE, GIVING HEATH A CHANCE ON THE LITTLE SIT ROUTE. YOU CAN SEE HIM, HE DROPS THE SLOT TO GET THAT BALL THROUGH TRAFFIC. THEY’RE NOT A RUN BLOCKING GROUP. THIS OFFENSIVE LINE IS ATHLETIC, A LITTLE UNDERSIZED. THEY HAVE DONE A NICE JOB ALL YEAR IN PASSING. >> Kevin: DILLON HAS A LITTLE SEAM. THAT’S WRAPPED UP QUICKLY BY JACK CAMPBELL, THE ROOKIE LINEBACKER. THERE IS MATT LaFLEUR. HE’S WATCHED HIS YOUNG QUARTERBACK GROW, AND TOLD US I’M MAD AT MYSELF THE WAY I HANDLED THE END OF THE GAME LAST WEEK. I WAS SO CONSERVATIVE. I’VE GOT TO LEAVE IT IN HIS HANDS. >> Greg: HE TOOK AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT APPROACH TODAY. THEY WIN THE TOSS, TAKE THE BALL. I THINK THAT SHOWS THE CONFIDENCE THEY HAD IN THEIR GAME PLAN, IN THEIR OPENING SCRIPT. AND ULTIMATELY IN HIS YOUNG QUARTERBACK. >> Kevin: REED IN MOTION, A FAKE TO HIM. LOVE IN TROUBLE. JUST GOING TO THROW IT AWAY. HE WAS UNDER HEAVY DURESS. >> Greg: WHEN YOU WATCH THIS DEFENSIVE UNIT FOR DETROIT, EFFORT, INTENSITY, NO ONE GREATER THAN AIDAN HUTCHINSON, ALEX ANZALONE, BRIAN BRANCH. THEY’VE GOT SOME YOUNG PIECES ON THIS DETROIT DEFENSE THAT PLAY HARD, THEY PLAY WITH A LOT OF ENERGY, AND THEY REALLY EMBODY EVERYTHING DAN CAMPBELL WANTS THIS TEAM TO BE. >> Kevin: THIRD AND EIGHT. LOVE NEAR THE SIDELINE. LEAPING. WATSON. IS HE IN? HE IS. WHAT A CATCH FROM CHRISTIAN WATSON, HAVING HIS BEST GAME OF THE YEAR. >> Greg: THE QUESTION IS, DOES HE SLAP THAT RIGHT FOOT ON THE GROUND? HE’S OBVIOUSLY GOT THE LEFT ONE DOWN. YES, WHAT A GREAT JOB ON THE SIDELINE. THESE ARE THE PLAYS THEY’VE WANTED TO SEE OUT OF CHRISTIAN WATSON, FINISHED REALLY STRONG LAST YEAR. OBVIOUSLY PLAYING WITH AARON RODGERS. THIS YEAR HE’S BATTLED SOME INJURIES. THEY’VE COME OUT TARGETING HIM OFTEN AND HE’S MAKING PLAY AFTER PLAY SO FAR. >> Kevin: ANOTHER FAKE. LOVE HAS GOT TIME. GETS IT OUT. TURNS IT UPFIELD. DILLON HAS GOT PACKER FIRST DOWN, AND A GAIN OF 11. AARON JONES, HE’S FIRED UP. GOT THE KNEE INJURY LAST WEEK. THEY’RE HOPING NOT LONG TERM FOR HIM. BUT A CHEERLEADER TODAY. REED, GETS IT ON THE JET SWEEP. TURNS UP THE FIELD. SPEED FROM REED, ANOTHER FIRST DOWN INSIDE THE 20. STARTING TO FIND A NEW TOY THERE. THEY GOT IT TO HIM ON THE RUN PLAYS LAST WEEK AND HE’S GOT SOME REAL JUICE. >> Greg: WE ASKED MATT LaFLEUR, CAN YOU FIND WAYS TO GET THE BALL TO REED? HE SAID ABSOLUTELY, HE IS SO DYNAMIC. WE SAW LAST WEEK HE HAD TWO BIG CARRIES, NONE BIGGER THAN THE LONG TOUCHDOWN AGAINST THE CHARGERS. HE IS A YOUNG GUY, THEY CONTINUE TO FIND WAYS TO USE HIM. HE’S BATTLING THAT CHEST INJURY. MAN, HE IS A FIGHTER. >> Kevin: LOVE, FIRING FAR SIDE. WATSON IS WIDE OPEN AGAIN, MAKES THE CATCH, AND THEN SURGES FORWARD. DOWN NEAR THE 10. CHRISTIAN WATSON ALREADY WITH A SEASON HIGH IN RECEPTIONS, THAT’S HIS FOURTH. COMING UP AT HALFTIME, JACK HARLOW WILL BE ON THE HALFTIME SHOW. I HAD A LITTLE ON THIS MORNING GETTING READY TO COME TO THE GAME. HAD TO FEEL THE VIBE. >> Greg: ABSOLUTELY. I WENT AND SAW HIM IN “WHITE MEN CAN’T JUMP” AND HE PLAYED WOODY HARRELSON’S KIND OF CHARACTER. HE WAS AWESOME. >> Kevin: SECOND AND TWO. DILLON. NOT MUCH THERE, BUT THAT EFFORT SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR A FIRST DOWN. WE’LL SEE WHERE THEY PUT IT DOWN. VERY CLOSE. I GUESS JUST SHORT. >> Greg: WE TALKED ABOUT THE AGGRESSIVE APPROACH OF MATT LaFLEUR. YOU’VE GOT TO IMAGINE THIS IN HIS MIND, HE’S GOT TWO SHOTS TO GAIN SIX INCHES. HE’S GOT TO KEEP PACE WITH WHAT IS AN AGGRESSIVE PLAY CALLER AND PHILOSOPHY OF DAN CAMPBELL. THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO LOSE THESE RED ZONE OPPORTUNITIES. >> Kevin: YEAH, MATT LaFLEUR WENT OVER ANGRY ABOUT THE SPOT, BUT DOES NOT THROW THE CHALLENGE FLAG THERE. THE FAKE. LOVE HAS GOT A MAN WIDE OPEN. IT’S KRAFT WHO IS GOING TO WALK IN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. >> Greg: IT’S JUST A GREAT PLAY DESIGN. YOU KNOW YOU’RE GOING FOR IT ON FOURTH DOWN, SO YOU ALMOST TREAT THIRD AND SHORT LIKE SECOND AND SHORT. THAT’S THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE PLAY ACTION. HE’S GOING TO SMASH RELEASE, HE’S GOING TO STAY ON AND BE THE LATE LOOPER. THAT’S JUST STEALING, MAN. I’LL TELL YOU, MATT LaFLEUR, YOU SAID HE WASN’T HAPPY ABOUT HOW CONSERVATIVE HE PLAYED AT THE END OF LAST WEEK. THERE’S NO SIGNS OF THAT. HE HAS COME OUT AGGRESSIVE, AND JORDAN LOVE IS CONTINUING IMPROVEMENT WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT. >> Kevin: TUCKER KRAFT HAS HIS FIRST NFL TOUCHDOWN, AND GREEN BAY HAS SCORED TOUCHDOWNS ON THEIR FIRST TWO DRIVES TODAY. HOW ABOUT MATT >>> THERE’S A LOT OF HISTORY AND A LOT OF GREAT PLAYERS, FACES, COACHES, YOU NAME IT. FROM AARON RODGERS, THESE GREEN BAY PACKERS ESTABLISHED IN 1919, AND THEY’VE PLAYED THE LIONS A LOT ON THANKSGIVING. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THIS IS THE 22nd MEETING ON THANKSGIVING. FOR A GREEN BAY TEAM THAT WAS SECOND AND WORST FIRST HALF SCORING IN THE LEAGUE, THEY’VE SCORED ON THEIR FIRST TWO DRIVES HERE THIS AFTERNOON. SHOULD TELL YOU IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO PLAY TODAY’S FOX SUPER SIX FREE TO PLAY GAME. DOWNLOAD THE FOX SPORTS APP RIGHT NOW, ENTER FOR FREE FOR A CHANCE TO WIN YOUR SHARE OF $10,000 IN WEEKLY CASH PRIZES. NOW IT’S THE LIONS TURN. GOT SOME ACTION, EACH TEAM GOING DOWN AND SCORING TOUCHDOWNS ON THE THREE POSSESSIONS. >> Greg: NOW IT’S EMPTY BACKFIELD. THEY’VE GOT THREE TIGHT ENDS, ONE BACK, ONE RECEIVER. >> Kevin: GOFF CAN’T FIND ANYONE. NOW HE TAKES OFF AND RUNS FOR A MINIMAL GAIN. THEY DROPPED INTO COVERAGE, TOO, THERE. THAT WAS INTERESTING. >> Greg: YOU COULD TELL THERE WAS A LOT OF ABOVE. GOFF CHECKED WHEN HE WENT EMPTY THERE, GREEN BAY CHECKED, HE CHECKED BACK. THERE WAS A CAT-AND-MOUSE GAME THERE. NICE JOB, GREEN BAY DECIDED TO JUST BRACKET IT OUT, PLAY MAX COVERAGE WITH DROP EIGHT. EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE EMPTY AND SENT FIVE INTO THE ROUTE, NOWHERE TO GO. >> Kevin: HERE IS GIBBS, JAHMYR GIBBS GETS A CARRY. THERE’S A PENALTY ON THE PLAY. >> Referee: OFFSIDE, NUMBER 19, OFFENSE. LINED UP IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE. FIVE-YARD PENALTY, REPLAY SECOND DOWN. >> Kevin: DONOVAN PEOPLES-JONES THEY A REQUIRED AT THE TRADE DEADLINE FROM CLEVELAND. BEN JOHNSON, THE MASTERMIND BEHIND THIS OFFENSE, HAS BEEN ONE OF THE HOT COORDINATORS IN THE GAME AND I KNOW YOU THINK THE WORLD OF HIM. >> Greg: I THINK IN THE NEXT HEAD COACHING HIRING CYCLE, YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE FOR A LOT OF TEAMS ACROSS THE LEAGUE, HE’S AT OR NEAR THE TOP OF THE LIST. >> Kevin: GOFF CAN’T FIND ANYONE. PACKERS BROUGHT THE HEAT. THE BALL IS GOING TO BE RETURNED, JUST IN CASE, BY JONATHAN OWENS. THE RULING ON THE FIELD, IT’S A FUMBLE AND IT’S A TOUCHDOWN. >> Referee: FUMBLE RECOVERED BY THE DEFENSE. >> Greg: I THINK THIS IS GOING TO STAND. GREAT JOB BY THE OFFICIALS. THAT’S THE MECHANICS. THEY WANT TO LET THE PLAY RUN OUT. THEY CAN ALWAYS REVIEW IT. TAKE A LOOK. IS HIS HAND EMPTY WHEN IT’S GOING FORWARD. I THINK IT IS. >> Kevin: I DO, TOO. >> Greg: I THINK THAT BALL IS OUT. GREAT JOB BY THE OFFICIALS, NOT BLOWING THIS PLAY DEAD. I DON’T SEE ANY WAY THAT THIS GETS OVERTURN. I THINK THAT’S CLEARLY A FUMBLE. >> Kevin: LET’S CHECK WITH OUR RULES EXPERT FROM L.A. >> Referee: THE RULING, A FUMBLE AND RECOVERY BY THE DEFENSE IS UNDER REVIEW. >> Kevin: THEY WILL LOOK AT IT LIKE THEY DO WITH EVERY TURNOVER. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS GOING TO STAND. WE’LL GET TOROL. THE BALL IS OUT BEFORE THE HAND COMES FORWARD. GREAT JOB BY THE OFFICIALS TO LET IT GO. THIS SHOULD STAND AS A FUMBLE AND RECOVERY BY THE PACKERS. >> Kevin: AS THEY FINISH THE REVIEW. >> Referee: THE RULING ON THE FIELD STANDS AS CALLED. TOUCHDOWN. >> Kevin: WOW. SO A 27-YARD FUMBLE RETURN FROM JONATHAN OWENS. >> Greg: ORIGINALLY IT’S KENNY CLARK. COLBY WINS. QUAY WALKER ADDED TO THE PRESSURE. THAT IS ONE THING THAT THEY’VE STRUGGLED WITH. THEY HAVE A GREAT PROTECTION UNIT. WHEN GOFF HAS PRESSURE, THEIR EFFICIENCY AS AN OFFENSE GOES WAY DOWN. >> Kevin: THE EXTRA POINT IS UP AND NO ONE IS NO GOOD. EACH TEAM HA >> Kevin: BIG PLAY HERE AND NICE JOB BY THE OFFICIALS TO LET IT ALL PLAY OUT. THAT’S WHAT YOU DO. INSTEAD OF AN INCOMPLETE, IT’S A FUMBLE. JONATHAN OWENS PICKS IT UP AND SAYS I’M GOING TO RUN THIS IN FROM 27 YARDS OUT TO MAKE A DEFENSIVE SCORE FOR GREEN BAY. THEY’VE GOT A 20-6 LEAD. THE ONE THING ABOUT THE LIONS, YOU TALKED ABOUT IT LAST WEEK, THEY OVERCAME A FOUR TURNOVER GAME TO WIN. YOU CAN’T DO THAT EVERY WEEK. IT’S A PROBLEM THAT’S BEEN COMING UP ON THEM THE LAST FEW WEEKS. HERE IS DORSEY. GOING TO TAKE IT OUT. GETS SMOKED AT THE 15 YARD LINE. WELL DONE ON SPECIAL TEAMS. >> Greg: GOING BACK TO THE TURNOVERS, GOFF HAS TURNED THE BALL OVER, ONE THING SINCE HE’S COME TO DETROIT, HE’S BEEN GOOD AT AVOIDING SACKS UNDER PRESSURE, ONE OF THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE, AND VERY GOOD PROTECTING THE BALL IN GENERAL. WE’VE SEEN A FLURRY OF SOME TURNOVERS LAST WEEK, THE THREE PICKS, PLUS ANOTHER FUMBLE, FOUR TURNOVERS. THEY WERE ABLE TO OVERCOME IT. THAT’S A SIGN OF A GOOD TEAM. BUT AS YOU SAID, YOU DON’T WANT TO MAKE A LIVING DOING IT. >> Kevin: HERE IS JAHMYR GIBBS, LEFT SIDE. A GOOD RUN FOR GIBBS. GOING TO PICK UP FIVE YARDS ON FIRST DOWN. THIS RUNNING BACK DUO FOR DETROIT HAS BEEN REALLY, REALLY EFFECTIVE. IT’S PRETTY MUCH SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE WITH GIBBS AND DAVID MONTGOMERY. >> Greg: THOSE FEW WEEKS THAT DAVID MONTGOMERY WAS OUT DUE TO INJURY AND THEY WERE FORCED TO GIVE GIBBS A LOT OF EXTRA REPS. THAT’S REALLY WHAT ALLOWED BEN JOHNSON AND DAN CAMPBELL TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS DUO LOOKS LIKE TOGETHER. WITH BOTH OF THEM HEALTHY, IT’S BEEN PRETTY MUCH A 50/50 SPLIT AND THEY’RE BOTH SUPER EFFECTIVE. >> Kevin: GOFF HAS PRESSURE. STEPS AWAY. THROWS. MISCOMMUNICATION. LOOKING FOR GIBBS, WHO TURNED UP THE FIELD. THIS RAUCOUS CROWD A LITTLE STUNNED RIGHT NOW, HOW GREEN BAY HAS COME OUT WITH AN UPPERCUT. >> Greg: WHERE THEY ARE HEALTHY, YOU MENTIONED SOME OF THE SECONDARY INJURIES. THEY’RE HEALTHY UP FRONT. WE’VE SEEN RASHAN GARY, PRESTON SMITH, KENNY CLARK. THEY’VE GOT DUDES THAT CAN GET AFTER THE PASSER IN THESE PASSING SITUATIONS. >> Kevin: FOUR-MAN RUSH ON THIRD AND FIVE. PRESSURE AGAIN. GOFF IN TROUBLE. HE LOST THE BALL AGAIN. THERE’S A FIGHT AT THE BOTTOM. KARL BROOKS PUNCHED IT OUT. WHO HAS GOT IT? >> Greg: I THINK GREEN BAY GOT IT. I THINK BROOKS ENDED UP FORCING THE STRIP AND RECOVERING IT. >> Kevin: AND GREEN BAY HAS RECOVERED. BACK-TO-BACK POSSESSIONS WITH A FUMBLE FOR DETROIT, ONE RETURN FOR A TOUCHDOWN, AND NOW THE PACKERS HAVE IT INSIDE THE 30. >> Greg: I JUST CAN’T STRESS IN HIS TIME HERE HOW UNCHARACTERISTIC THIS TURNOVER PRONE NATURE OF JARED GOFF IS. BACK-TO-BACK DRIVES END WITH FUMBLES AND THIS GREEN BAY DEFENSE, THEY’VE GOT TO TIP THEIR CAP. >> Kevin: YOU SEE PRESTON SMITH IN HOT PURSUIT AND THEN BROOKS, THE ROOKIE, IS THE ONE THAT CAME OVER AND FORCED THE FUMBLE. GOOD YEAR. ROOKIE OUT OF BOWLING GREEN. THREE SACKS ON THE YEAR COMING IN. GETS ANOTHER ONE THERE. NOW LOOK AT THIS FOR GREEN BAY, WHERE THEY START. LOVE, A LITTLE FLIP. COMING INSIDE TO REED. SECOND TIME THEY’VE RUN THAT PLAY. AND MAYBE A YARD. HERE IS THE ISSUE FOR THE LIONS, AS GREAT AS THEY ARE OFFENSIVELY, YOU DON’T WANT TO KEEP DIGGING OUT OF HOLES. THE LAST FIVE QUARTERS OF PLAY, THEY HAVE TURNED IT OVER SIX TIMES. NOW THERE’S AN INJURED LION. I BELIEVE IT’S >>> ALIM McNEILL TOOK A SHOT FROM HIS TEAMMATE, JACK CAMPBELL. HE JUST WALKED OFF AND HE GOES INTO THE TENT TO GET CHECKED OUT. WE CERTAINLY HOPE THAT HE IS OKAY. NOW THE LIONS HAVE TO GET A STOP HERE. IT’S 20-6. >> Greg: SO FAR, GREEN BAY HAS HAD TWO RED ZONE OPPS AND TWO TOUCHDOWNS. THEY GIVE UP MORE RED ZONE TOUCHDOWNS, BOTTOM THREE IN THE LEAGUE. SO THEY’RE REELING RIGHT NOW. THEIR OFFENSE IS TURNING THE BALL OVER. THIS DEFENSE NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A STOP AND FORCE A THREE AND RESET. >> Kevin: WE’VE TALKED ABOUT GREEN BAY BEING A BAD FIRST HALF TEAM. NOT TODAY. COMING OUT AGGRESSIVE, AND THEN A DEFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN HELPS, AND TWO FUMBLE RECOVERIES IN A ROW BY THE DEFENSE HELPS. SECOND AND NINE, WITH 1:10 TO GO IN THIS FIRST QUARTER. FOUR-MAN RUSH. LOVE ESCAPES. ROOM TO RUN, MAYBE. TUCKS IT AWAY, TRIES TO GET TO THE EDGE, AND DOES. HE’S GOING TO GET A FEW YARDS, INSIDE THE 20. GIVE HIM ABOUT FOUR YARDS. >> Greg: WE’VE TALKED HOW GOOD THIS OFFENSIVE LINE HAS DONE. THEY’RE TRYING TO DO A LITTLE STUNT WITH HUTCHINSON, AND MYERS IS JUST WAITING FOR HIM AS HE COMES INSIDE. NICE JOB BY LOVE ESCAPING THE POCKET AND PICKING UP A COUPLE. MAKE THIS THIRD AND MANAGEABLE HERE. >> Kevin: THIRD AND SEVEN, AND THIS PLAY IS BLOWN DEAD. GREEN BAY IS GOING TO CALL A TIME-OUT. >> Kevin: LIKELY THE LAST PLAY OF THIS FIRST QUARTER, THIRD AND SEVEN, WITH THE PACKERS THREATENING, ALREADY UP 20-6. LOVE, LOCKED UP AGAIN. UNDERNEATH. GETS IT TO KRAFT. HE’S DRAGGED DOWN JUST BEFORE THE FIRST DOWN LINE, ABOUT A HALF A YARD SHORT FROM DERRICK BARNES. A DECISION ON A FOURTH AND SHORT WHEN WE COME BACK. THAT’S THE END OF THIS FIRST QUARTER. LIONS SHOCKED AT THE STA QUARTER NOT ONLY UP 20-6, BUT WITH A FOURTH DOWN AND LESS THAN ONE. DILLON IS EATEN UP ALIVE, AND THE LIONS GET A MUCH-NEEDED STAND. >> Greg: WOW, YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE CORNER BREAK. A.J. DILLON JUST GOES THE WRONG WAY. EVERYBODY IS BLOCKING. JORDAN LOVE IS ANTICIPATING HIM GETTING THE BALL ON THE RIGHT SIDE. YOU CAN SEE FROM WHERE THE LINEMEN ARE BLOCKING, HE JUST WENT THE WRONG WAY. THAT’S JUST A BRUTAL MISTAKE THERE, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAD THE ENTIRE COMMERCIAL BREAK COMING INTO THE SECOND QUARTER TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNEW THE PLAY CALL. >> Kevin: YEAH, THAT WAS A CHANCE TO REALLY PUT THE HAMMER DOWN. THE LIONS GET A BIG PLAY AND A LITTLE HELP. AND NOW FROM THEIR OWN 14, THEY WILL TRY TO GET THE RUN GAME GOING. THERE’S MONTGOMERY, WHO IS GOING TO GET A COUPLE. THE LIONS, WE TALKED ABOUT THE TURNOVERS. THEY’VE STARTED TO COME THE LAST FEW GAMES. A FEW TODAY, A MISSED EXTRA POINT AFTER A GREAT OPENING DRIVE. THEN BACK-TO-BACK POSSESSIONS WITH A FUMBLE. THIS ONE WAS RETURNED FOR A TOUCHDOWN FOR GREEN BAY, JONATHAN OWENS. THAT ONE THEY GET A BREAK. DEFENSE HOLDS ON FOURTH AND ONE. DAN CAMPBELL TOLD US THAT’S THE ONE THING THAT’S GOT TO GO AWAY, AFTER A FOUR TURNOVER GAME ON SUNDAY. ANOTHER RUN. IT IS MONTGOMERY. THE LIONS ARE GOING WITH THE RUN GAME ON EARLY DOWNS A LITTLE MORE THAN THEY USUALLY DO. >> Greg: AND I THINK THE ELEMENT — I THINK THERE’S A MISNOMER OUT THERE THAT THE RUN GAME IS WHAT ALLOWS YOU TO BE A GOOD PLAY ACTION TEAM. AND I THINK BEN JOHNSON’S OFFENSE HISTORICALLY HAS FLIPPED THAT UPSIDE DOWN. THE THREAT OF THEIR PLAY ACTION, THE ABILITY TO STAY IN WHAT THEY CALL 50/50 DOWNS, WHERE IT’S NOT A CLEAR PASS OR A RUN, ALLOWS THEM TO PUT THE PRESSURE ON DEFENSES TO HAVE TO PLAY BOTH. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM GET BACK INTO EARLY PASSING DOWNS AS OPPOSED TO ALL THE RUNS. >> Kevin: THIRD AND ONE. MONTGOMERY FIGHTS FOR IT. HE’S GOT THE FIRST DOWN. THIS GREEN BAY DEFENSE PLAYING SHORTHANDED TODAY. AND BEN JOHNSON TOLD US — I HAVE THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR HIM, HE DOES A GREAT JOB AT DISGUISING THINGS. >> Greg: HE SAYS, HE ALWAYS HAS A WRINKLE FOR ME, NEW RUN PRESSURE OR A THIRD DOWN BLITZ OR JUST CHANGING BETWEEN ZONE AND MAN AND CHANGING THE LOOKS ON THE QUARTERBACK. THEY BOTH WERE HIGHLY COMPLIMENTARY OF ONE ANOTHER. SO FAR, THEY’VE HELD UP GREAT. >> Kevin: STAY WITH MONTGOMERY AGAIN. A HOP, STEP, AND UPENDING MONTGOMERY, BUT A NICE RUN. GOOD BLOCKING. HE’S GOING TO PICK UP NINE. AND WE GET ANOTHER INJURED LION ON THE PLAY. IT’S FRANK RAGNOW, THE CENTER, ONE OF THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE. LIONS ARE PLAYING A LITTLE SHORTHANDED ON THAT VERY GOOD OFFENSIVE LINE TODAY. JONAH JACKSON IS OUT WITH A WRIS THE LIONS LOOKING FOR A LITTLE SOMETHING. DOWN 20-6. GOT A CATCH AND A FIRST COUNSEL. IT’S MALCOLM RODRIGUEZ, THE LINEBACKER WHO HAS BEEN MOONLIGHTING A LITTLE AS A FULLBACK. BUT HE MAKES THE CATCH. >> Greg: THAT’S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. THAT WAS JUST GONE PROTECTION. HE WAS JUST FAST OUT OF THE BACKFIELD, ADDED HIM INTO THE ROUTE CONCEPT. THAT’S A GREAT CATCH THERE IN THE FLAT. THAT’S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE FOR A LINEBACKER. >> Kevin: SO MALCOLM RODRIGUEZ DOESN’T HAVE ANY CAREER INTERCEPTIONS, BUT NOW HE’S GOT A CATCH. FRANK RAGNOW IS BACK IN THE GAME AT CENTER. GOOD NEWS FOR DETROIT. HE ONLY MISSED ONE PLAY. FIRST AND TEN. GOFF STANDS AND DELIVERS. AMON-RA ST. BROWN ON THE BOARD, HIS FIRST CATCH OF THE DAY. HE IS THEIR TOP RECEIVER. HE’S GOT SIX 100 YARD GAMES ON THE YEAR. THAT’S THE MOST IN THE NFL. >> Greg: I THINK THE PART, JUST STUDYING HIM THIS WEEK, YOU’VE SEEN THE NUMBERS, THE STATS, OBVIOUSLY, SINCE HE’S COME INTO THE LEAGUE. WHAT REALLY STOOD OUT TO ME, FOR A GUY WHO IS NOT OVERLY BIG IN STATURE, HE’S ONE OF THE BEST IN THE NFL AT CONTESTED CATCHES, FIGHTING THROUGH CONTACT. THERE’S NOT A WHOLE LOT THIS GUY CAN’T DO. JUST CONTINUES TO IMPROVE. >> Kevin: MONTGOMERY AGAIN. SPIN MOVE. BREAKS ANOTHER TACKLE. WORKING HARD, MONTGOMERY FOR A YARD. GREEN BAY ALL OVER IT. UP COMES THIRD DOWN. THEY’RE GIVING MONTGOMERY A BULK OF THE CARRIES TODAY. WE TOLD YOU ABOUT USUALLY A SPLIT AND HE AND JAHMYR GIBBS. MONTGOMERY HAS BEEN THE WORKHORSE. NINE CARRIES, 27 YARDS FOR HIM. THIRD AND THREE. GOFF, HIGH. AND THAT COULD HAVE BEEN INTERCEPTED, BUT IT’S INCOMPLETE. LaPORTA, THE INTENDED RECEIVER. NOW FOURTH AND THREE, AND THE LIONS, THEY MIGHT THINK ABOUT GOING IT, BUT THEY’RE GOING TO SEND OUT THE PUNT TEAM. >> Greg: THIS IS A FLAT-OUT MISS BY JARED GOFF. HE HAD LaPORTA ON THE BASIC IN CUT. YOU CAN SEE IT DIDN’T COME OUT RIGHT AND GOES OFF THE HAND OF LaPORTA. GOFF IS A LITTLE OFF. WE MENTIONED THE TURNOVERS. HE DID A GREAT JOB LAST WEEK, CAME UP BIG IN THE FOURTH QUARTER LEADING THEM BACK. HE’S GOT TO SETTLE IN. YOU’VE GOT TO HIT THOSE EASY PASSES AT THIS LEVEL. >> Kevin: LOW, SINKING KICK. JAYDEN REED CALLS FAIR CATCH. N >> Kevin: LET’S GO BACK TO THE THIRD DOWN. THIS IS A SIMPLE DRIVE CONCEPT. THEY USE A SWITCH/RELEASE. LOOK AT THE LEVERAGE SAM LaPORTA GETS. McDUFFIE SITS DOWN. THIS IS AN EASY, EASY READ, AND THE REASON IT’S WIDE OPEN, LOOK AT THE ATTENTION AMON-RA ST. BROWN GETS BETWEEN QUAY WALKER AND OWENS ON THE OTHER SIDE. THAT’S WHERE THERE WAS NO HOLE PLAYER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. YOU CAN’T MISS THOSE SHOTS. >> Kevin: WASTED OPPORTUNITY FOR THE LIONS. IT’S JORDAN LOVE’S TURN, ON THE FAKE AGAIN. GETS IT OUT TO DILLON, WIDE OPEN IN THE FLAT. HE’S STILL ON HIS FEET. ACROSS THE 30. A.J. DILLON IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. HE’S 250 POUNDS. >> Greg: THIS WAS USUALLY THE AARON JONES ROLE, THE OPEN FIELD. DILLON IS KIND OF KNOWN AS THE BIG BODY BRUISER. BUT HE HAS GREAT HANDS. IT’S SOMETHING THAT HE’S GOTTEN A LOT BETTER AT SINCE HE CAME OUT OF SCHOOL. NICE JOB THERE TAKING THE HIT IN THE AIR BY ANZALONE. THAT’S HANDS TO THE FACE. IF I’M GREEN BAY, I’M SAYING THAT’S HANDS TO THE FACE. I GUESS OFFICIALS DON’T DEEM IT FORCIBLE CONTACT. >> Kevin: AND MOVEMENT. >> Referee: ENCROACHMENT, NUMBER 90 DEFENSE. FIVE-YARD PENALTY. REMAINS FIRST DOWN. >> Kevin: LET’S REMIND YOU, A.J. DILLON IS 250 POUNDS. I MEAN, ARE YOU GOING TO TACKLE THAT? >> Greg: ONE GUY WENT LOW, ONE GUY WENT HIGH, AND HE WAS ABLE TO DEFEAT THEM BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY. THAT WAS IMPRESSIVE IN THE OPEN FIELD BY THE BIG BACK. >> Kevin: HERE IS DILLON, UP THE MIDDLE. AND A SHORT GAIN. WELL, JORDAN LOVE, THINK ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. AARON RODGERS MOVES ON, LOVE’S FIRST YEAR STARTING AFTER SITTING ON THE BENCH FOR THREE YEARS. THE HEADLINES HAVE CHANGED AS HE’S PLAYING WELL. LOVE SHOWS MORE GLIMPSES THAT HE COULD BE THE ANSWER, HIS PATIENCE FINALLY PAYING OFF. ALL THESE HEADLINES HAVE CERTAINLY CHANGED COMING INTO NOVEMBER, CAREER DAY, COMES OFF A CAREER BEST, HIS FIRST 300 YARD GAME. TODAY, AWESOME, 10 OF 11, AND TWO TOUCHDOWNS. A PERFECT RATING SO FAR. SECOND AND THREE TO THROW IT AGAIN. SLINGS IT OVER THE MIDDLE. IT’S ROMEO DOBBS WITH HIS FIRST CATCH. HE’S INTO DETROIT TERRITORY. LOVE HAS BEEN GOOD OFF THE FIELD, TOO. >> ABSOLUTELY. TALKING TO HIS TEAMMATES THIS WEEK, RASHAN GARY PRAISED HIM AS A LEADER, AFTER TOUGH LOSSES EARLY IN THE SEASON. GOING AROUND AND LIFTING OTHER PLAYERS UP, TALKING TO JAYDEN REED ABOUT GATHERING TOGETHER BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED. WE’RE SEEING HIM FLOURISH ON THE FIELD, BUT AS A LEADER GROWING AND FINDING HIS VOICE. >> Kevin: HE’S CONTINUING IT TODAY. HERE IS TAYLOR ON THE CARRY. BY THE WAY, GREG, GOOD NEWS FOR DETROIT DEFENSIVELY ON THIS DRIVE. WE’RE TOLD McNEILL AND JACK CAMPBELL BOTH CHECKED AND BACK IN THE GAME. THEY COLLIDED ON THAT ROUGH HIT. AND ALIM McNEILL HAS BEEN SO IMPORTANT TO THIS TEAM. EVERY TIME WE DO A LIONS GAME, SOMEONE BRINGS HIM UP WITHOUT US ASKING. >> Greg: UNSOLICITED, EVERY SINGLE OFFENSIVE COACH, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT AIDAN HUTCHINSON, THEY SAY ALIM McNEILL IS THE CENTERPIECE OF THE DEFENSIVE LINE. HE’S TURNED INTO AN ELITE PLAYER AT THIS POSITION. >> Kevin: LOVE GOING DEEP. IT’S A SHOT TO DOBBS ACROSS THE MIDDLE, AND HE’S GOT THE CATCH. DOWN TO THE 29. JORDAN LOVE, THE SENSATIONAL FIRST HALF CONTINUES. >> Greg: I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT AS YOU SEE DOBBS RUN THIS BIG CROSS ROUTE, I THINK IT’S IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT, HERE WE ARE ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE SECOND QUARTER. THEY’VE ONLY ATTEMPTED, GREEN BAY, ATTEMPTED THREE THIRD DOWNS. WHAT THAT TELLS US IS THEIR AGGRESSIVE PLAY ON FIRST AND SECOND DOWN, PICKING UP FIRST DOWNS, IS THE BEST STYLE OF OFFENSE. YOU STAY IN PLAY ACTION, YOU RUN PLAY PASSES MORE EFFECTIVE. I LOVE THIS PLAN BY MATT LaFLEUR. >> Kevin: TAYLOR, GOOD BLOCKING ON THE EDGE. AND TAYLOR GETS INSIDE THE 25. A RARE RUNNING PLAY, BUT I THINK THAT’S THE OTHER PART OF IT, RIGHT? GREEN BAY, THERE’S BEEN NO PRESSURE ON LOVE. WE TALKED ABOUT THE FRONT OF DETROIT, THEY HAVEN’T GOTTEN HOME. >> Greg: THEY’RE A BETTER PASS PRO TEAM AT THIS STAGE OF THE SEASON THAN RUN BLOCKING. BUT IT’S THE THREAT OF THE FIRST AND SECOND DOWN PASS THAT REALLY SOFTENS UP THOSE LINEBACKERS, THOSE INTERIOR GUYS GET INTO MORE PASS RUSH MODE WHEN THEY’RE USED TO SEEING FIRST AND SECOND DOWN PASS SO OFTEN. THE RUN NOW BECOMES SECONDARY, AND IS A LOT MORE EFFECTIVE. >> Kevin: FOUR-MAN RUSH HERE. LOVE GOING FAR SIDE OF THE FIELD. AND INCOMPLETE. TRYING TO GET IT TO JAYDEN REED, AND NOW IT’S THIRD AND FIVE. LOVE, HERE COMES AIDAN HUTCHINSON. BODIES COLLIDE. WATSON, THE INTENDED RECEIVER. I DON’T SEE A FLAG. AND MATT LaFLEUR ON THE FIELD ARGUING. HE AND CAM SUTTON COLLIDED. >> Referee: BOTH PLAYERS WERE PLAYING THE BALL AND BECAME ENTANGLED. >> Kevin: YOU JUST GOT THE EXPLANATION. >> Greg: I THINK IT’S THE RIGHT CALL. YOU CAN SEE THEM, MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF MATT LaFLEUR. THAT’S AN EXAMPLE OF TWO GUYS GETTING TANGLED FEET. YOU HEARD THE OFFICIAL MAKE THE CALL. I THINK IN THIS CASE THAT’S THE RIGHT CALL. GREAT STOP HERE BY DETROIT, FORCING THE FIELD GOAL ATTEMPT. >> Kevin: NOW IT’S THE ROOKIE, ANDERS CARLSON, FROM 43 YARDS OUT. AND THE KICK IS BE A PART OF YOUR FAMILY TODAY. GREG, IT’S KIND OF LIKE WE’RE SEEING THESE YOUNG PACKERS, MAYBE WHAT WE CAN BE IN THE FUTURE. >> Greg: WE KNEW THEY WERE TALENTED, THEY WERE JUST INEXPERIENCED AND A LITTLE INCONSISTENT. I THINK ON DAYS LIKE TODAY, THERE’S ALMOST AN IGNORANCE IS BLISS KIND OF IDEA. THESE YOUNG PLAYERS, THEY DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT THEY DON’T KNOW. THEY PLAY FREE, THEY’RE CONFIDENT, DYNAMIC. WE’VE SEEN A BUNCH OF GUYS THAT HAVEN’T PLAYED A WHOLE LOT OF REPS ALL YEAR COME OUT AND PLAY REALLY WELL. >> Kevin: HERE IS DORSEY, LOOKING FOR A LITTLE SPARK ON THE RETURN. THE PACKERS HAVE A LOT OF ENERGY, THE LIONS DON’T HAVE MUCH. EA, YOUR REPORT. >> IN JUST WATCHING THE OFFENSE AS THEY TAKE THE FIELD, THERE’S REALLY NO PANIC, AND NOBODY IS SUPER EMOTIONAL. BUT, REMEMBER, WE TALKED TO DAN CAMPBELL THIS WEEK AND ASKED HIM ABOUT THE SHORT WEEK, AND HE SAID THE BIGGEST KEY, THE TEAM WITH THE MOST ENERGY AND PLAYS WITH THE MOST DETAIL WILL WIN THE GAME FROM THE ATTITUDE STANDPOINT, WE HAVE TO PLAY SOUND FOOTBALL, OBVIOUSLY THEY’VE STRUGGLED WITH THAT. AS YOU’VE SAID, THEY WERE FORTUNATE TO GET OUT OF THE GAME AGAINST THE BEARS. THEY’VE GOT TO CLEAN THIS UP. >> Kevin: THEY DID OVERCOME A 12-POINT DEFICIT WITH THREE MINUTES TO GO IN THE GAME LAST WEEK. THEY’VE GOT SOME WORK TO DO HERE, DOWN BY 17. OBVIOUSLY, A LOT OF TIME TO GO. >> Greg: THEY’RE RELOADING. THIS GUY STARTED HIGH AND CAME BACK DOWN INTO THE BOX. >> Kevin: HE’S GOT TIME. ONE POCKET BREAKS DOWN AND GOFF IS TRIPPED UP. AROUND THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. WE’LL SEE IF IT GOES DOWN AS A SACK OR NOT. IT’S GARY AND SHOULD BE A SECOND SACK OF THE DAY. >> Greg: THIS WAS COOL TO SEE. JONATHAN OWENS IN THE BACK, THIS ORIGINALLY WAS GOING TO BE A PASS, AND YOU HEARD HIM SAY KILL, KILL. HE SLOWLY STARTED WALKING DOWN. LISTEN TO THE CENTER. RELOAD, RELOAD, RELOAD. IT GOES BACK TO A PASS BECAUSE HE’S GETTING OUT. IT’S REALLY GOOD, QUARTERBACK AND CENTER WORKING TOGETHER. OBVIOUSLY IT DIDN’T WORK OUT, BUT THAT’S THE MECHANICS OF THE PLAY. >> Kevin: SECOND DOWN, BLITZ COMING. GOFF THROWING TO NOWHERE. THESE PACKERS ARE DIALING UP EVERYTHING TODAY, SHORTHANDED. IT IS WORKING. WALKER ON THE PRESSURE THAT TIME. >> Greg: THESE WRINKLES. THEY WEREN’T PREPARED. AGAIN, SHORT WEEK. EVERY COACH GOES THROUGH THE BALANCE OF, ALL RIGHT, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GAME PLAN SPECIFIC TO OUR OPPONENT, WE DON’T WANT TO OVERWHELM GUYS. THE DEFENSE HAS COME READY TO GO AND THEY’VE PLAYED WELL. >> Kevin: THIRD AND TEN. PRESSURE ON GOFF. THAT MAY HAVE BEEN TIPPED AT THE LINE AND IT’S INCOMPLETE. NOW THERE’S A PENALTY IN THE SECONDARY, SO HOLD EVERYTHING. GOFF WAS UNDER DURESS AGAIN THAT TIME. >> Referee: PRIOR TO THE PASS, ILLEGAL CONTACT, NUMBER 58 DEFENSE. FIVE-YARD PENALTY, AUTOMATIC. FIRST DOWN. >> Greg: RIGHT NOW McDUFFIE ONE-ON-ONE IN THE SLOT, ROOKIE TIGHT END LaPORTA. LET’S SEE THE CONTACT. HE’S GOING TO COME OUT OF IT. THAT ONE SEEMS — JOE BARRY LIKES IT. HE LIKED IT AND THEN HE SAID, MY GOD, HE HAD HIM. IT SEEMED LIKE LIGHT CONTACT THERE. OBVIOUSLY THE OFFICIAL THOUGHT IT WAS ENOUGH TO GET LaPORTA ON THE GROUND. >> Kevin: GIBBS UP THE MIDDLE. AND GIBBS TAKEN DOWN FROM BEHIND. GARY GOT HIM. HE’S HAVING A WHALE OF A FIRST HALF. A NICE TACKLE. COULD HAVE BEEN AN EVEN BIGGER RUN. A REMINDER, AT THE HALF, GRAMMY NOMINATED JACK HARLOW HIGHLIGHTING THE THANKSGIVING HALFTIME SHOW POWERED BY VERIZON. OUR PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR, THEY’RE FIRST CLASS. YOU SEE WHAT I DID THERE USING THE SONG TITLE? >> Greg: YOU’RE A PROFESSIONAL. THAT’S WHY YOU ARE WHO YOU ARE. >> Kevin: OCCASIONALLY. SECOND AND FOUR. MAYBE A YARD. IT WILL BE A THIRD DOWN AND THREE. THIS LIONS OFFENSE CAME INTO TODAY NUMBER TWO IN THE NFL, SIXTH IN SCORING. THEY ARE AN EXPLOSIVE GROUP. SPEAKING OF THAT, FIFTH IN THE NFL IN EXPLOSIVE PLAYS. THEY’VE BEEN LIMITED TODAY, THE PRESSURE FROM GREEN BAY, AMON-RA ST. BROWN, JUST ONE CATCH. THIS IS WHERE THEY GO ON THIRD DOWN. GOFF HAS A MAN, WIDE OPEN. IT’S RAYMOND, HIS FIRST CATCH OF THE DAY, AND A BIGGIE. DOWN TO THE GREEN BAY 40 HE GOES, AND THE DRIVE CONTINUES. >> Greg: I’M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT THE COVERAGE WAS HERE. SOME OF THE GUYS ON THE FIELD ARE PLAYING UNDERNEATH ZONE, AND EVERYONE ELSE IS PLAYING MAN. NOBODY RUNS WITH RAYMOND, AND HE’S WIDE OPEN THERE ON THIRD DOWN. THAT’S A CLEAR MISCOMMUNICATION THERE BY THE SECONDARY. >> Kevin: THEY GO TEMPO. GOFF, PRESSURE COMING. THROWS IT AWAY. >> Greg: THEY THOUGHT GROWN BAY JUMPED, AND THEY SNAPPED IT THINKING THEY HAD A FREE PLAY. THE OFFICIALS DIDN’T THINK THEY WERE IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE. NOW THEY’RE DECIDING, WAS THAT INTENTIONAL GROUNDING. >> Kevin: CAN YOU IMAGINE THE TURN OF EVENTS? >> Greg: MOVEMENT BY SLATON. HE DIDN’T ACTUALLY CROSS THE NEUTRAL ZONE, SO IT WAS NOT A FREE PLAY. THAT’S INTENTIONAL GROUNDING. HE WASN’T OUTSIDE THE POCKET. >> Referee: INTENTIONAL GROUNDING, NUMBER 16, OFFENSE. TEN-YARD PENALTY. LOSS OF DOWN. SECOND DOWN. >> Greg: SO THE TACKLE BOX IS ABOUT THREE YARDS TO THE RIGHT OF THIS HASH, AND HE’S CLOSE. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT DEAN THINKS. HE IS CLOSE. IF ANYTHING, HE’S ON THE EDGE OF THAT ORIGINAL TACKLE BOX, AND CLEARLY THEY THOUGHT HE WAS STILL INSIDE. >> Kevin: SECOND AND 21 AFTER THAT TURN OF EVENTS. GOFF GETS RID OF IT QUICKLY. FAR SIDE OF THE FIELD, BROCK WRIGHT. DEAN, YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT CALL? >> YOU’RE ALWAYS GOING TO GIVE THE QUARTERBACK THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. THE BALL WAS SNAPPED ON THE RIGHT HASH. IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS RIGHT ON THE EDGE. YOU WANT TO GIVE HIM THAT BENEFIT. I THOUGHT HE WAS STILL INSIDE. OBVIOUSLY NO RECEIVER IN THE AREA, AND THEY END UP WITH THE GROUNDING CALL. >> Kevin: IT’S JUST AMAZING. THANK YOU. YOU GO FROM YOU THINK YOU HAVE A FREE PLAY TO GETTING PENALIZED YOURSELF. >> Greg: YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE AS THE CENTER, FRANK RAGNOW, THE CENTER, YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY CLEARLY GET IN THE NEUTRAL ZONE IF YOU’RE GOING TO SNAP IT. >> Kevin: THIRD AND 12. GOFF, LONG WAY TO GO. HE’S GOING TO BE SHORT OF A FIRST DOWN. HOW AGGRESSIVE ARE THEY? >> Greg: I THINK THAT’S JUST ENOUGH TO MAKE DAN CAMPBELL BE AGGRESSIVE. I THINK HE’S GOING TO KEEP HIS OFFENSE. HE KNOWS HE NEEDS A SPARK HERE. DO THEY AT LEAST LET THIS DOWN TO THE TWO-MINUTE WARNING? THE PLAY CLOCK, YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO LET THIS DOWN TO THE TWO-MINUTE WARNING. I DON’T KNOW IF I WOULD SNAP IT ON THE PLUS SIDE OF IT OR NOT. TRY TO GET THEM TO JUMP. TAKE THE DECISION INTO THE TWO-MINUTE. >> Kevin: FOURTH AND FOUR. PRESSURE ON GOFF. BALL IS LOOSE! SITTING ON THE GROUND. DOESN’T MATTER. IT WILL BE GREEN BAY TAKING OVER. THEY SAY NOW INCOMPLETE, BUT THE PACKERS WILL GRAB THE FOOTBALL ON A FOURTH DOWN STOP. PRESTON SMITH CAME WITH THE HEAT. THE PACKERS PLAYING A GREAT T P GETTING BEAT UP BY THE PACKERS, WHO HAVE BEEN SURGING OF LATE AND PLAYING ARGUABLY THEIR FIRST GAME SO FAR THIS YEAR. UP 23-6, TWO TIME-OUTS LEFT, AND 1:58 TO GO IN THE HALF. HERE IS JORDAN LOVE. SLINGS IT OUT TO REED. WALKER BRINGS HIM DOWN. GOING TO BE A LOSS. ACTUALLY, THAT WAS JOSEPH, NOT WALKER. ON THE FOURTH DOWN PLAY, YOU LIKED THE DECISION TO GO FOR IT? >> Greg: I DID. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION. 35 YARD LINE, THAT’S A LONG KICK. I DON’T HATE THE CALL. I WOULD LIKED TO HAVE SEEN FIVE YARDS, MAKE THEM JUMP, GET UP TO THE LINE. TAKE THE TWO-MINUTE WARNING, CATCH YOUR BREATH, RESET, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR BEST PLAY. INSTEAD, THEY RAN UP AND SNAPPED IT AND THE PRESSURE OF GREEN BAY HAS BEEN THE STORY LINE OF THIS FIRST HALF. >> Kevin: SECOND DOWN. HERE IS DILLON. A GAPING HOLE FOR A.J. DILLON. RUMBLING INTO LIONS TERRITORY, AND A FIRST DOWN AND A RUN OF 17. >> Greg: WATCH THE TWO HIGH SAFETIES, A LITTLE BIT OF A LIGHT BOX HERE, ANTICIPATING MAYBE MORE OF A PASS APPROACH. WITH THE BALL AT MIDFIELD, GREEN BAY DIDN’T WANT TO GIVE DETROIT AN EXTRA POSSESSION. NOW UNDER A MINUTE, THEY CAN GO INTO A MORE UP-TEMPO TWO MINUTES AND STEAL POINTS. >> Kevin: LOVE, GOING FAR SIDE OF THE FIELD. KNOCKED AWAY. BRIAN BRANCH WITH A NICE PLAY ON JAYDEN REED, WITH 52 SECONDS TO GO IN THIS FIRST HALF. SO FAR, GREG, IT’S BEEN THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF WHEN THEY PLAYED IN WEEK FOUR. IN THAT GAME, THE LIONS JUST CRUSHED GREEN BAY IN THE FIRST HALF AND ESSENTIALLY THE GAME WAS OVER. IT’S BEEN THE REVERSE. >> Greg: THEY RAN FOR OVER 200 YARDS IN THAT GAME, DETROIT DID. NOW YOU FIND YOURSELF DOWN HERE, TRAILING TO SOME CAPACITY HERE AT THE HALF, AND THE ABILITY TO RELY ON THAT PLAY ACTION RUN GAME REALLY GOES DOWN. TURNS INTO A DROP-BACK GAME FOR DETROIT. >> Kevin: SECOND AND TEN. LOVE, TAYLOR OUT OF THE BACKFIELD. MAKES THE CAMP. ANZALONE WRESTLES HIM DOWN. THIRD DOWN WITH 47 SECOND TO GO IN THIS HALF. LOVE JUST LOOKS COMFORTABLE. WE DID HIS WEEK ONE START IN CHICAGO, WHICH THEY WON. HE LOOKS LIKE A DIFFERENT GUY. >> Greg: NO QUESTION. WE WALKED OUT OF SOLDIER FIELD IN WEEK ONE THINKING, ALL RIGHT, THEY MIGHT BE ON TO SOMETHING HERE. HE HAD TOUGH SLEDDING THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. WE TALKED ABOUT IT AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW, HE’S PLAYING HIS BEST BALL HERE LATE IN THE SEASON. THAT’S EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT TO PEAK. >> Kevin: THIRD DOWN AND SIX. LOVE CAN’T FIND ANYONE. PRESSURE. THROWS ON THE RUN. INCOMPLETE. THAT TIME THE LIONS GET HOME WITH PRESSURE ON LOVE, AND LIKELY WILL FORCE A PUNT HERE. >> Greg: IT WAS THE LATE PRESSURE THAT FORCED THE THROWAWAY. BUT IT WAS A GREAT JOB BY THE BACK SEVEN, LINEBACKERS AND SECONDARY OF DETROIT, MATCHING THAT COMBINATION. >> Kevin: THEY’RE NOT GOING TO PUNT. THEY’RE GOING TO GO. >> Greg: I ALMOST WONDER, DO THEY TRY TO MAKE THEM JUMP? YOU WOULD HATE TO GIVE DETROIT A RELATIVELY SHORT FIELD HERE, KNOWING THEY GET THE BALL COMING OUT AT HALFTIME. THIS IS A BIG GAMBLE NOW BY MATT LaFLEUR. >> Kevin: THEY NEED SIX YARDS. >> Greg: I JUST CANNOT SEE THIS BALL GETTING SNAPPED. >> Kevin: THE WAY THE FIRST HALF HAS GONE. THERE’S A PENALTY. IT’S ON THE DELAY OF GAME. YOU THINK ABOUT THE WAY — LISTEN, THE FIRST HALF HAS GONE SO WELL, WHY HAND DETROIT HALF THE FIELD? >> Greg: AND YOU KNOW WHAT’S ALWAYS THE TIP FOR ANYONE WATCHING AT HOME, SITTING ON YOUR COUCH, HANGING OUT? ANY TIME AN OFFENSE STARTS GOING INTO, LIKE, THESE BIZARRE SHIFTS IN MOTIONS, IT’S LIKE THE ULTIMATE TELL THAT BALL IS NOT GETTING SNAPPED. NO ONE’S MOTIONS OR SHIFTS EVER LOOK LIKE THEY DO ON A NO PLAY. >> Kevin: IT’S LIKE THE FAKE THROW TO FIRST, DOES IT EVER WORK? SO THEY WILL PUNT IT AWAY. IT’S WHELAN, END OVER END, HIGH KICK. FAIR CATCH AT THE 16 BY KALIF RAYMOND. >>> THE VERIZON HALFTIME SHOW, WHAT DO YOU GOT FOR US? >> COMING UP ON THE VERIZON HALFTIME, WE’LL BREAK DOWN THE FIRST HALF. FIRST, HAPPY THANKSGIVING! >> Kevin: THOSE KIDS HAVING THE TIME OF THEIR LIFE. CURT, THANK YOU SO MUCH. GRONK SPIKING QUARTERBACKS. >> Greg: HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE FUN? HE’S LIKE THE FUN UNCLE AT THANKSGIVING. >> Kevin: THE LIONS HERE, ALL THREE TIME-OUTS. WE’LL SEE HOW AGGRESSIVE THEY ARE. GOFF OVER THE MILLING, AND INCOMPLETE. HE HAD A MAN, LaPORTA, JUST A LITTLE IN FRONT, SECOND DOWN. >> Greg: YEAH, THE REASON IT’S IN FRONT, HE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HELD THAT ONE MORE HALF COUNT, BUT PRESTON SMITH IS IN HIS FACE. WATCH THE TIMING WHEN PRESTON SMITH GETS IN HIS FACE. HE COMES UNDERNEATH. HE HAS TO GET THE BALL OUT, BUT HE HASN’T QUITE CLEARED QUAY WALKER YET. THAT’S WHY THE COVERAGE AND RUSH GO HAND IN HAND. >> Kevin: A LOT OF PRESSURE ON GOFF, AS YOU SEE. BACK TO THROW. FAR SIDE FOR ST. BROWN, WHO RAN A DIFFERENT ROUTE. AND THIS LIONS OFFENSE JUST A LITTLE DISCOMBOBULATED IN THE FIRST HALF. GOFF WAS NOT UNDER PRESSURE, IF YOU’RE THINKING INTENTIONAL GROUNDING — YEAH, CARL CHEFFERS ANNOUNCING TO THE CROWD. >> Greg: IT’S AMAZING HOW MUCH STRATEGY THERE HAS BEEN THE LAST MINUTE OF THIS GAME. NOW YOU’RE GREEN BAY, YOU HAVE TWO TIME-OUTS, IT’S THIRD AND TEN. HOW AGGRESSIVE DOES BEN JOHNSON WANT TO BE HERE, POTENTIALLY STOPPING THE CLOCK AND PUNTING IT BACK TO SOMEWHERE AROUND MIDFIELD, AND GREEN BAY GETTING AN EXTRA POSSESSION? SO INTERESTING CALL HERE. >> Kevin: GOFF STANDS AND DELIVERS. IT IS CAUGHT. AND THAT’S A FIRST DOWN TO LaPORTA, PENDING THE PENALTY. 20 SECONDS TO GO IN THIS HALF. >> Reporter: ILLEGAL SHIFT OFFENSE. ALL PLAYERS DID NOT GET SET PRIOR TO THE SNAP. FIVE-YARD PENALTY. REMAINS THIRD DOWN. >> Greg: JUST HAVEN’T SEEN — WE’VE SEEN LITTLE GLIMPSES, WE CALLED THE BALTIMORE RAVENS GAME A FEW WEEKS BACK. BUT ALL IN ALL, THIS OFFENSE IS JUST SO USED TO PERFORMING AT SUCH A HIGH LEVEL, BEING SO EFFICIENT. JUST UNCHARACTERISTIC PERFORMANCE IS THE ONLY WAY TO PUT IT. >> Kevin: THE GREEN BAY PRESSURE HAS REALLY BEEN THE STORY OF THIS GAME. 20 SECONDS LEFT, THIRD AND 15. GOING TO HAND IT OFF HERE. GOFF STANDING IN. THROWING DEEP NEAR SIDE. AND JAMESON WILLIAMS NEVER TURNED AROUND. A PENALTY FLAG BACK NEAR THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. LET’S SEE WHAT THIS IS. >> Referee: NUMBER 74 OF THE OFFENSE WAS ILLEGALLY DOWNFIELD. THAT PENALTY IS DECLINED. THE RESULT OF THE PLAY IS FOURTH DOWN. >> Kevin: IT WOULD HAVE BEEN INCOMPLETE, ANYWAY. THEY’LL HAVE TO PUNT IT AWAY. IT’S BEEN A FIRST HALF OFFENSIVE DISASTER FOR THE LIONS. THEY’VE GOT TWO FUMBLES, ONE RETURN FOR A TOUCHDOWN, AND THEY’VE ALLOWED CONSTANT PRESSURE. NOW A BIG PUNT. HIGH. SHORT. VERY SHORT. FAIR CATCH CALLED FOR RIGHT AROUND THE 45 YARD LINE, WITH ONLY FIVE SECONDS LEFT. >> Greg: IT’S FUNNY, THAT’S ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS, IT DOESN’T HAPPEN A LOT, DEPENDING WHERE YOU FAIR CATCH THAT BALL, YOU CAN ATTEMPT TO FREE KICK. WE HAVEN’T SEEN MANY OF THEM OVER THE YEARS. ACTUALLY HAD ONE IN A GAME I PLAYED IN LONDON. WE PLAYED TAMPA MY LAST YEAR AT CAROLINA. WE ATTEMPTED A FREE KICK, WE MISSED IT. WE THOUGHT MAYBE THEY WOULD GIVE IT A SHOT HERE. >> Kevin: IT’S A LITTLE TOO FAR. >> Greg: IT’S CLOSE. >> Kevin: INSTEAD, THEY’LL TRY FOR THE OLD HAIL MARY. LOVE UNDERNEATH. REED SLIDES DOWN. NOW THEY GET A TIME-OUT IN TIME. LET’S SEE. IT LOOKED LIKE HE GOT DOWN IN TIME BEFORE IT WENT DOWN TO ZERO, AND HE DID. THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST A SECOND OR TWO ON THE CLOCK. >> Referee: GREEN BAY CALLED TIME-OUT WITH ONE SECOND ON THE CLOCK. PLEASE SET THE GAME CLOCK TO ONE SECOND. >> Greg: LET’S TAKE A LOOK. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS MANDATORY GET DOWN, CATCH, DOWN. OH, YEAH, THERE’S PLENTY OF TIME. THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN TWO SECONDS. WELL EXECUTED THERE. AND NOW THEY’LL TAKE THE KICK. AGAIN, THINK ABOUT THIS, THEY GAIN TEN, BUT THE FIELD GOAL SNAP IS EIGHT, BUT NOW YOU HAVE TO KICK IT WITH A RUSH. I DON’T KNOW. IT’S AN INTERESTING DECISION, FREE KICK VERSUS FIELD GOAL. >> Kevin: THIS WILL BE A 63 YARD FIELD GOAL. HIS LONGEST 52. HE HIT FROM 57 IN THE PRESEASON. CARLSON DRILLS IT. IT’S GOT A CHANCE. ON THE WAY. IT IS TAKEN BY RAYMOND, WHO IS BACK TO RECEIVE FOR DETROIT. WHY NOT? NOW RAYMOND LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE KICK RETURN. BREAKS A TACKLE. STILL ON HIS FEET. SOME BLOCKING. A HECK OF A RETURN. GOT THE CROWD EXCITED. THAT WILL BE THE END OF THIS FIRST HALF. AND A GREAT ONE FOR THE PACKERS, 23-6, THEY LEAD IT. STAY TUNED. TH TRYING TO FIND THE MOJO. 8 OF 16, 100 YARDS, AND A COUPLE OF FUMBLES IN THAT FIRST HALF. AND THE THIRD QUARTER IS UNDER WAY. DORSEY WILL TRY AND RUN IT OUT. GETS TO THE EDGE. A GOOD RETURN FROM DORSEY, STACKED UP BEFORE THE 30. WE GO DOWN STAIRS TO ERIN. >> DAN CAMPBELL TELLING ME COMING OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM, NO WEEK NO DIFFERENT THAN LAST. IT’S THE TURNOVERS THAT ARE KILLING US. HE SAID, BECAUSE OF THAT, WE CAN’T GET INTO A RHYTHM. I ASKED HIM ABOUT GREEN BAY’S PRESSURE AND HOW YOU COUNTER THAT, HE SAID, WE’VE BEEN GOOD WITH PROTECTIONS, WE’RE JUST GETTING LONG WITH THE SNAPS. WE’RE RUNNING THE WRONG ROUTES, AND RIGHT NOW WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY. HE SAID, IF WE CAN CLEAN THIS UP, WE CAN GET INTO A RHYTHM, GET ST. BROWN INVOLVED AND GO. >> Kevin: HERE IS GIBBS. A BIG SEAM, AND JAHMYR GIBBS ON THE FIRST PLAY INTO PACKERS TERRITORY. THAT WILL GIVE THEM A LITTLE JUICE. 23 YARDS TO GIBBS. >> Greg: THESE ARE THE EARLY EXPLOSIVES ON FIRST DOWN THAT THEY’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. THEY’VE BEEN RELYING ON THIS RUN GAME A LOT IN THE FIRST HALF AND NOW THEY’RE ABLE TO POP ONE. GETTING GIBBS ON THE PERIMETER, GREAT START ON THIS DRIVE TO START THE SECOND HALF. >> Kevin: ERIN TALKED ABOUT AMON-RA ST. BROWN, ONLY TWO CATCHES FOR 14 YARDS FOR HIM SO FAR. HE’S AT THE TOP OF YOUR SCREEN. NOW IN MOTION. THEY’LL FAKE. GOFF THIS TIME HAS TIME. FIRES, AND THERE IS AMON-RA ST. BROWN WITH A BIG GAME, BACK-TO-BACK EXPLOSIVE PLAYS FOR THE LIONS, AND THEY’RE IN BUSINESS. >> Greg: WE SAW THIS ON THE OPENING DRIVE, THEY THREW IT TO SAM LaPORTA, THE TIGHT END. NOW THEY DO IT OUT OF A DIFFERENT COMBINATION. JAMESON WILLIAMS RUNS THE BIG SEVEN, AMON-RA ST. BROWN RUNS THE LOW SEVEN. I LIKE THEM STAYING ON THE BALL HERE, TRYING TO KEEP SOME RHYTHM IN THIS DRIVE. GOING NO HUDDLE. >> Kevin: GIBBS, NOT MUCH THERE. MAYBE A YARD, IF ANYTHING AT ALL. WE’VE GOT TO REMIND VIEWERS, IF YOU JUST TUNED IN AT HOME, MAYBE STEPPED AWAY FROM THE THANKSGIVING DINNER TABLE, GREEN BAY IS SO DECIMATED WITH INJURIES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL. THAT’S WHAT MAKES IT MORE IMPRESSIVE WHAT THEIR DEFENSE HAS BEEN DOING. >> Greg: LOOK HOW MANY GUYS ARE AROUND THE BOX. >> Kevin: THEY’LL THROW IT. PRESSURE. GOFF HAS TO GET RID OF IT. DOES. A NICE CATCH IN TRAFFIC BY JOSH REYNOLDS, FOR A SHORT GAIN. COREY BALLENTINE, VERY GOOD COVERAGE. UP COMES THIRD DOWN AND SIX. >> Greg: YOU WONDER IF DAN CAMPBELL IS IN THE EAR OF BEN JOHNSON, HIS OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR TELLING HIM, HEY, YOU GET THIS CLOSE ENOUGH, GIVE ME A DECISION TO MAKE, KNOWING THEY’RE CHASING 17 POINTS. HAVING A CHANCE TO KEEP THIS ALIVE. >> Kevin: THEY’RE GOING TO RUN IT. MONTGOMERY WITH A COUPLE OF GOOD BLOCKS. MONTGOMERY IN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN! PENALTY AT THE VERY END OF THIS. AND THE SIGNAL IS IT’S COMING BACK. WOW, THAT WAS LITERALLY THROWN AT THE 1 YARD LINE. >> Referee: HOLDING, NUMBER 11 OFFENSE. TEN-YARD PENALTY. >> Greg: HERE IS KALIF RAYMOND. LET’S TAKE A LOOK. THAT FLAG CAME OUT LATE. LET’S SEE. SO THEY’RE KIND OF HUGGING EACH OTHER ON THE 2 YARD LINE. LET’S SEE THE END. I DON’T KNOW. I THINK THE DEFENDER HAS HIS ARMS WRAPPED AROUND RAYMOND’S BACK. I’M NOT SURE. THAT SEEMS LIKE JUST TWO GUYS KIND OF HUGGING EACH OTHER IN THE END ZONE. >> Kevin: THAT’S A KILLER. >> Greg: THAT’S A BRUTAL PENALTY. JUST OBVIOUSLY TO CLEAN IT ALL UP, THEY’LL RETRY THIRD DOWN AND MARK THE PENALTY FROM THE SPOT OF THE FOUL. THEY WON’T GET THE FIRST DOWN, BUT IT WILL BE THIRD DOWN AGAIN, BUT THIRD AND SHORT. THAT RUN CALL BY BEN JOHNSON TELLS ME THAT WAS THE SETUP GOING FOR FOUR-DOWN TERRITORY. >> Kevin: SO THEY WILL DO THIRD DOWN HERE, THIRD AND ONE. MONTGOMERY AGAIN. HE’S GOT THE FIRST DOWN, AND DOWN TO THE 5. >> Greg: WHAT CAN THIS LIONS TEAM DO TO CHIP AWAY TO START THIS HALF? WE’VE SEEN IT. THIS IS THE LIONS OFFENSE THAT WE’VE SEEN FOR THE MOST PART ALL SEASON, PLAY ACTION PASS, RUN GAME, ALL KIND OF WORKING TOGETHER. AND THEY’RE ROLLING RIGHT NOW, FIRST AND GOAL. RODRIGUEZ, THE LINEBACKER, BACK AT FULLBACK. >> Kevin: MONTGOMERY, DANCING. WORKING HIS WAY NEAR THE END ZONE. IS HE IN? HE IS! TOUCHDOWN, DETROIT! >> Greg: TAKE A LOOK HERE, MONTGOMERY IS CONTACTED ABOUT THE 2 YARD LINE. IT LOOKS LIKE HE’S ON TOP OF THE BODY HERE, AND THAT BALL CROSSES. I THINK THAT’S GOING TO STAND. YOU TALK ABOUT AN IMPRESSIVE WAY TO START THE THIRD QUARTER. THAT’S A BIG-TIME DRIVE BY THE LIONS. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE GOING TO GO FOR TWO. MONTGOMERY, I THINK, IS HURT. I THINK HE’S LIMPING IN THE HUDDLE. I THINK THEY WERE TRYING TO GET GIBBS OFF THE SIDELINE. YOU SEE HIM JUMPING AROUND ON THAT LEG. HE’S GOING TO STAY IN FOR THIS TWO-POINT TRY. >> Kevin: THEY BRING ON AN EXTRA LINEMAN HERE, DAN SKIPPER. MONTGOMERY STAYS IN. MONTGOMERY RIGHT UP THE GUT FOR TWO. LOST THE BALL, BUT HE’S IN. THE SIGNAL IS THE TWO-POINT CONVERSION IS GOOD. WELL, THAT IS AN ANSWER. AND NOW THERE’S A LITTLE SKIRMISH, FLAG FLIES WITH SOME SHOVING AND PUSHING GOING ON. MONTGOMERY JUST BARELY GETS THERE BEFORE HE GETS DECKED. THE LIONS RIGHT DOWN THE FIELD. AND THEY’RE SORTING OUT THE FLAG HERE AT THE VERY END. YOU’RE RIGHT, GREG, MONTGOMERY IS LIMPING THERE. >> Greg: THEY WERE TRYING TO SIGNAL, BEFORE THE TWO-POINT TRY, THEY WERE TRYING TO SIGNAL TO THE SIDELINE TO GET A NEW BACK IN. >> Referee: 15-YAR >> Greg: WE’VE TALKED ALL GAME ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PLAY ACTION BOOT AND RUN GAME. WATCH THE THREE OFF-THE-BALL DEFENDERS, WHEN MALCOLM RODRIGUEZ GOES TO THE FLAT, THEY’RE PLAYING BOOT. THEY’RE ALL GOING SIDEWAYS. THAT WAS THE TOUCHDOWN ON FIRST DOWN BY MONTGOMERY. AND NOW YOU’RE GOING TO SEE, THIS WAS THE PENALTY, YOU’RE NOT ALLOWED TO PEEL PLAYERS OFF THE PILE, EITHER SIDE. YOU SEE LUKAS VAN NESS, HE PULLS SKIPPER, THE JUMBO TACKLE, OFF THE PILE. >> Kevin: THAT’S WHY THEY KICKOFF FROM MIDFIELD. THE PACKERS ARE GOING TO START ON THE 25 REGARDLESS. >> TALKING TO MATT LaFLEUR, HE WENT BACK TO THE WAY THIS GAME STARTED, THE DECISION TO RECEIVE THE BALL, GO DEEP ON THE FIRST PLAY OF THE GAME, AS WE SEE THINGS GETTING A LITTLE CHIPPY THERE IN THE END ZONE. IN TERMS OF BEING AGGRESSIVE, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS FROM THE HEAD COACH, MATT LaFLEUR, AS HE TRIES TO LEAVE THE FIELD AT HALFTIME, GETTING STOPPED BY A SECURITY GUARD INITIALLY, AND HE HAD PLENTY TO SAY, TALKING TO HIM COMING BACK AT THE HALF, HE SAID THAT’S NEVER HAPPENED TO ME EVER IN MY COACHING CAREER. I WAS FULLY COMMITTED AND I WASN’T GOING TO BE STOPPED. HE SAID, WINNING THIS GAME ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL, PROTECTING LOVE AND GETTING PRESSURE ON GOFF. LET’S SEE IF THEY CAN DEAL WITH THIS CROWD. THEY’RE BACK IN IT, K.B. >> Kevin: IT IS A FIRST AND TEN FOR THE PACKERS. HOW ABOUT THE COACH ALMOST GETTING CHECKED ON THE FIELD? HERE IS LOVE. PRESSURED FOR THE FIRST TIME. DUMPS IT TO DILLON. FASCINATING TO SEE GREEN BAY, HOW THEY REACT TO BEING HIT IN THE MOUTH FOR THE FIRST TIME. >> Greg: THEY HAVE TO STAY AGGRESSIVE. THEY CANNOT SAY WE’RE GOING TO PROTECT THIS LEAD AND TRY TO GET TO A RACE OF TRIPLE ZEROS AT THE END OF THE FOURTH QUARTER. EVERYTHING THAT’S GOTTEN YOU THIS LEAD HAS BEEN YOUR AGGRESSIVE PLAY AS A PLAY CALLER. >> Kevin: DILLON, FAKE TO REED. DILLON IS GOING TO PICK UP A COUPLE. THIRD DOWN AND TWO. THIRD AND TWO. LOVE OVER THE MIDDLE. A MAN WIDE OPEN, AND IT’S CAUGHT BY JAYDEN REED, WHO HAS THE FIRST DOWN. >> Greg: THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF JUST RUNNING INTO COVERAGE. YOU SEE REED, HE FEELS JACK CAMPBELL, THE LINEBACKER, SETTLE, AND HE KNOWS IF HE JUST WRAPS INSIDE. GREAT JOB FROM LOVE, HIS EYES AND FEET IN SYNC. AS HE WORKED THROUGH HIS PROGRESSION, REED POPPED WIDE OPEN. BIG THIRD DOWN CONVERSION THERE. >> Kevin: THIS PACKERS OFFENSIVE LINE HAS DONE A HECK OF A JOB TODAY. >> Greg: THEY’RE FANTASTIC PASS PROTECTERS. >> Kevin: WHISTLE BLOWS. >> Referee: FALSE START, NUMBER 76 OFFENSE. FIVE-YARD PENALTY. REMAINS FIRST DOWN. >> Kevin: DOES IT EVER, EVER FAIL, WHEN YOU COMPLIMENT A LINEMAN OR KICKER, THEY DO SOMETHING WRONG? >> Greg: SOMEBODY HAS TO STUDY THAT. THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON IN THE UNIVERSE, THE SECOND YOU TRY TO BE POSITIVE, IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO BITE YOU. I’M SORRY, JON RUNYAN. >> Kevin: SO IT’S FIRST AND 15. IT’S LIKE CLOCKWORK. HERE’S LOVE. CAN’T FIND ANYONE. GOT DILLON IF HE WANTS HIM. STILL HANGS ON. COMING ACROSS HIS BODY. HE’S GOT A COMPLETION. THAT WAS DANGEROUS, BUT HEATH WAS THERE AND BEAT JACOBS FOR THE 50/50 BALL. >> Greg: YOUNG QUARTERBACKS AT HOME, UNLESS YOU HAVE JORDAN LOVE’S ARM TALENT, EVERY SINGLE COACH IS JUST HOLDING THEIR BREATH AS THAT BALL IS IN THE AIR. BUT WATCH HEATH HERE, HE GOES DOWN, STAYS ALIVE, RALLIES. HE GOES, OH, MY GOD, HE’S ABOUT TO THROW THIS BALL BACK ACROSS THE ENTIRE FIELD TO SET UP SECOND AND SHORT. THAT’S A RIDICULOUS BALL BY JORDAN LOVE, BUT RISKY. >> Kevin: FROM DISASTER TO A 12 YARD GAIN, JUST LIKE THAT. HANDED OFF TO DILLON, WHO GETS STYMIED RIGHT AWAY. ANZALONE AND JACOBS WAS THERE TO BRING UP THIRD DOWN. >> Greg: GREAT JOB BY ALEX ANZALONE. HE’S JUST THE RUN-THROUGH PLAYER. JENKINS IS WORKING A COMBINATION BLOCK. HE CAN’T GET OFF OF IT FAST ENOUGH. A TACKLE FOR LOSS SETS UP THIRD AND MEDIUM. LOVE, UNDERNEATH. DROPPED. IT WAS A PERFECT PASS, HE BOBBLED. AND NOW IT’S FOURTH AND FOUR. >> Greg: IT STARTED WITH THE FIRST DOWN, FALSE START BY RUNYAN. BUT HIM BEHIND THE STICKS. YOU JUST HAVE TO MAKE THAT CATCH. HE RUNS A GREAT ROUTE, AND LOVE PUTS IT RIGHT INTO HIS CHEST. >> Kevin: THE LIONS SEEMINGLY GET THEIR STOP, EVEN THOUGH YOU’VE ALWAYS GOT TO WATCH FOR A FAKE. DANIEL WHELAN IS SET TO PUNT IT AWAY. THE PUNTER WHO WAS BORN IN DUBLIN. WE’LL SEE WHAT HE’S GOT. TRYING TO PIN THE LIONS DEEP, AND THEY WILL DO IT. EXCELLENT JOB BY GREEN BAY. ROBERT ROCHELL KEPT IT FROM GOING INTO THE END ZONE. >> Greg: I’VE BEEN EXCITED FOR THIS GAME. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING — I’VE BEEN WAITING, THEY HAD THIS AT HALFTIME AND WOULDN’T LET US EAT IT. I MIGHT NOT WATCH THE SECOND HALF. >> Kevin: YOU EAT THAT. I’LL CALL THE GAME FOR A LITTLE BIT. HERE ARE THE LIONS IN THE SHADOW OF THEIR OWN END ZONE. MONTGOMERY WILL RUN IT OUT. OBVIOUSLY, HE’S OKAY. ERIN TOLD US HE GOT TAPED UP ON HIS ANKLE. BACK IN RIGHT NOW. >> Greg: IF YOU DON’T HEAR FROM ME IN A WHILE, IT’S BECAUSE I’M STUFFING MY FACE. OF ALL THE JOHN MADDEN CONTRIBUTIONS, WHICH ARE PLENTIFUL, I THINK THE TURDUCKEN INTRODUCED TO THE LIVE BROADCAST MIGHT BE HIS SINGLE GREATEST ONE. >> Kevin: NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. THANK OUR BUDDY, GLENN, IN NEW ORLEANS. HE AND JOHN BECAME FRIENDS, AND HE STILL GIVES OUR CREW THE TURDUCKEN. FIGHTING FOR IT WITH AMON-RA ST. BROWN, AND ST. BROWN HAS THE CATCH. BOY, THAT WAS CLOSE. THEY’RE STILL FIGHTING FOR IT. >> Greg: OF ALL THE RECEIVERS IN THE LEAGUE TO FIGHT OVER A CONTESTED CATCH, I’M NOT SURE IF YOU WANT TO PICK AMON-RA ST. BROWN. NOW IT’S A FIGHT ON THE SIDELINE OVER THE BALL. GREAT COVERAGE HERE BY VALENTINE. KIND OF WENT THROUGH HIS HANDS AND THEN IT’S THE STRENGTH OF AMON-RA ST. BROWN. >> Kevin: THAT IS AN UNBELIEVABLE CATCH. >> Greg: WATCH HIM JUST WRESTLE THIS AWAY. WE USED TO SEE STEVE SMITH DO THIS, MY FORMER CAROLINA TEAMMATE. IF YOU GOT YOUR HANDS ON THE BALL, YOU WERE NOT WINNING THE WRESTLING MATCH. >> Kevin: HIS FATHER WAS MR. UNIVERSE. >> Greg: THAT HELPS, THE GENETICS. >> Kevin: IT IS A FIRST DOWN. HOW IS THE TURDUCKEN? >> Greg: DELICIOUS. I’M GLAD I’M BACK ON THE BROADCAST. >> Kevin: HERE IS GOFF. PRESSURE IN HIS FACE. THROWS IT AWAY. MONTGOMERY WAS IN THE AREA, SO NO GROUNDING. KENNY CLARK, BIG-TIME PRESSURE THAT TIME. >> Greg: KENNY CLARK, IT SEEMS LIKE — YOU’RE GOING TO SEE HIM RIGHT HERE. HE JUST BULL RUSHES. THERE’S NOTHING FANCY ABOUT THIS. KENNY CLARK SEEMS LIKE AN ALL MADDEN TYPE GUY. MAYBE HE DOESN’T HAVE THE WOW NUMBERS, THE SACKS. MAN, THE INTERIOR OF THIS D-LINE, HE IS A FORCE. >> Kevin: LOOK AT THE PRESSURES ON HALF OF HIS DROP-BACKS TODAY. STEPS AND DELIVERS. IT IS ST. BROWN, CATCHES IT IN STRIDE. AND HE’S UP TO ABOUT THE 23. IT WILL BE A THIRD DOWN COMING UP. NOW ST. BROWN IS STARTING TO HEAT UP. THREE CATCHES IN THIS SECOND HALF, FIRST A QUIET FIRST HALF. CAME INTO TODAY FIFTH IN THE NFL IN RECEIVING YARDS. AND THERE’S YOUR CONTESTED CATCHES NUMBER, GREG, 13. THIRD AND FIVE. GOFF HAS TIME. LETS IT RIP. LOOKING FOR ST. BROWN, AND IT’S HIGH AND INCOMPLETE. HE WAS OPEN, AND NOW THE PUNT TEAM WILL COME OUT ON FOURTH DOWN. >> Greg: WATCH THE ANGLE OF AMON-RA ST. BROWN. WATCH HOW HE GOES A LITTLE FLAT. THEN YOU SEE WHERE THE BALL IS. HE STARTED THINKING HE’S GOING TO RUN AWAY FROM BALLENTINE AND GOFF IS THINKING HE’S GOING TO TAKE THE ANGLE HIGH. THAT WAS ALL THE LITTLE ADJUSTMENT THAT AMON-RA ST. BROWN MADE, AND COULDN’T QUITE GET THERE. >> Kevin: LIONS HAVE HAD TWO GREAT DRIVES, AND OTHER THAN THAT, THEY’VE JUST BEEN A LITTLE OFF TODAY. IT’S A FAKE ON THE PUNT. THEY’VE GOT A WAY TO GO, AND THEY’RE NOT GOING TO GET THERE. REED IS TACKLED SHORT. THE PACKERS WILL TAKE OVER ON THE 22 OF DETROIT. >> Greg: DAN CAMPBELL, HE TOLD US — WE ASKED HIM ABOUT HIS AGGRESSIVE PLAY CALLING. HE IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE HIS IDENTITY. THIS IS WHAT THEY’VE BEEN SINCE HE GOT HERE. THEY’RE TRYING TO JUST SNAP IT HERE AND GET TO THE SIDELINE. LOOK HOW WIDE EVERYBODY IS. THOSE ARE HARD REACH BLOCKS. YOU CAN’T GET THE EDGE, AND THEN OBVIOUSLY IT’S JUST PURSUIT FROM THE BACK SIDE. HE WASN’T EVEN CLOSE. >> Kevin: BOY, THAT IS A GUTSY CALL FROM YOUR OWN 23 YARD LINE. THEY DON’T GET A YARD. LUKAS VAN NESS, THE ROOKIE ON THE STOP. A HUGE PLAY. NOW CAN THE LIONS DEFENSE ANSWER? PACKERS WITH A BIG OPPORTUNITY HERE. DILLON. GOING TO PICK UP THREE. >> Greg: BACK TO THAT FAKE, MOST OF THE TIME, K.B., WHEN THEY HAVE FAKES, THERE’S A CHECK TO GET OUT OF IT. SO YOU GREEN LIGHT THE FAKE, AND THEN IT’S ALWAYS FOR A PARTICULAR LOOK. AGAIN, WITHOUT KNOWING THE SPECIFICS, YOU SEE THE NUMBERS, HE’S RUN THE MOST FAKES OF ANYBODY IN THE LEAGUE. YOU WOULD IMAGINE THAT THAT LOOK IS NOT EXACTLY IDEAL, GETTING REACH BLOCKS WITH THOSE GUYS BEING SO WIDE. YOU WOULD LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHECK OUT OF IT AND JUST PUNT IT AWAY. >> Kevin: LOVE, SPINS AWAY. NOBODY OPEN. GOING TO THROW A FLAG HERE AS LOVE RUNS. HE’S CUT DOWN SHORT OF THE FIRST DOWN. THIS ONE MAY BE COMING BACK, AND IT WILL BE. >> Greg: ELGTON JENKINS WAS IN PLACE. >> Referee: NUMBER 74 OFFENSE. TEN-YARD PENALTY. SECOND DOWN. >> Greg: YEAH, HE WAS WAY OUT IN SPACE. WATCH. HE’S GOING FIVE YARDS, CALLING FOR THE PENALTY. THAT’S PRETTY CLEAR. >> Kevin: SO THAT MAKES IT A SECOND DOWN AND 17. PACKERS UP BY 9, 4:00 TO GO IN THIS THIRD QUARTER. THE FAKE. LOVE SLINGS IT OVER THE MIDDLE, AND IT’S CAUGHT BY ROMEO DOUBS, IN TRAFFIC. DOUBS WAS BLANKETED BY JACOBS. >> Greg: WATCH THE BODY POSITION OF JORDAN LOVE WHEN THIS BALL COMES OUT. HE’S GOT JENKINS GETTING PUSHED BACK IN HIS FACE. HIS HIPS ARE GOING TO BE SIDEWAYS. LOOK, HIS HIPS ARE POINTING THIS WAY, AND HE THROWS THAT BALL BETWEEN THE HASHES. THE ARM TALENT AND THE DIFFERENT SLOTS OF JORDAN LOVE TODAY, I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, HE’S BEEN IMPRESSIVE. >> Kevin: THIS WILL BE A THIRD DOWN AND THREE. GOING FOR THE END ZONE FOR WATSON. HE’S GOT A TOUCHDOWN, GREEN BAY! >> Greg: THEY DRAFTED CHRISTIAN WATSON LAST YEAR AND THIS IS WHAT THEY IMAGINED. BIG PLAY, BIG PHYSICAL RECEIVER, MATCHED UP AGAINST JERRY JACOBS. THAT SUBTLE LITTLE RIGHT HAND, THAT SUBTLE LITTLE PUSH CREATES THE SEPARATION THAT HE NEEDS. HE SAW THAT ONE-ON-ONE MATCHUP, AND NOW GREEN BAY IS GOING TO KEEP THE OFFENSE ON THE FIELD AND GO FOR TWO AFTER WE SAW DETROIT DO IT ON THEIR PREVIOUS TOUCHDOWN DRIVE. >> Kevin: TRYING TO MAKE IT BACK TO A 17-POINT LEAD. WOW, SO THE FAKE PUNT GETS DENIED FOR THE LIONS. THE PACKERS MAKE THEM PAY, AS CHRISTIAN WATSON ON THE TOUCHDOWN. NOW THEY GO FOR TWO. A LITTLE TRICKERY. AND DOUBS IS TACKLED. LOOKED LIKE THEY TRIED TO RUN THE PHILLY SPECIAL, BUT IT DID NOT WORK, AS HUTCHINSON WAS ALL OVER IT. THE TWO-POINTER IS NO GOOD. BUT THIS FAKE PUNT STARTED IT ALL, THE BIG STOP BY GREEN BAY, AND THEN CHRISTIAN WATSON HAULING IT IN.ERE HE THREW FOR H 322 YARDS THAT GAME. TODAY HE’S GOT 250 AND THREE TOUCHDOWNS, THE LAST ONE TO CHRISTIAN WATSON. THE LIONS WILL START ON THEIR OWN 25. THE OTHER STORY OF THIS GAME, THE PRESSURE ON JARED GOFF HAS BEEN CONSTANT FROM THE PACKERS. >> Greg: THEY JUST HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO MATCH UP. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST OFFENSIVE LINES IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE. THE ONE AREA OF GREEN BAY THAT THEY ARE HEALTHY AND INTACT, IT’S ALONG THAT DEFENSIVE FRONT. SO THEY KNEW THEY HAD TO SHOULDER THE LOAD TODAY WITH ALL THE MOVING PIECES BEHIND THEM, AND THEY’VE SHOWN UP. >> Kevin: YOU SEE THE PRESSURE, TWO FUMBLES AND FORCING A DEFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN. JONATHAN OWENS RETURNED IT FOR A SCORE. NOW THE LIONS DOWN 15. WORK TO DO OVER THE MIDDLE. A GOOD START. KALIF RAYMOND HAS HIMSELF A FIRST DOWN, AND HE’S UP TO THE 41. DEVONTE WYATT JUST WALKING OFF THE FIELD. HE’S GOING TO BE EVALUATED FOR A CONCUSSION. BIG PART OF THAT DEFENSIVE LINE THAT’S PLAYED SO WELL TODAY. SO IT MAKES THEIR ROTATION A LITTLE BIT SMALLER. HERE IS GIBBS. WELL, BLACK FRIDAY ON FOX, THAT WOULD BE TOMORROW. YOU CAN CATCH HEISMAN CANDIDATE BO NIX AGAINST OREGON STATE. IT BEGINS TOMORROW AT 8:30 EASTERN ON FOX. THE HEISMAN RACE WILL BE INTERESTING THIS YEAR. THERE’S A LOT OF GOOD CANDIDATES IN THERE. NIX HAS PLAYED OUT OF HIS MIND LATELY. SECOND DOWN AND SEVEN. GIBBS AGAIN. THE RUN GAME HAS BEEN HARD TO COME BY FOR THE LIONS TODAY. >> Greg: IT’S BEEN AN ELEMENT OF THEIR OFFENSE THAT’S BEEN SO GOOD. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SUCCESS, THINK ABOUT THE TOUCHDOWN DRIVE THEY HAD TO START THE THIRD QUARTER. IT WAS ALL FIRST AND SECOND DOWN PASS, THEN THEY GOT INTO THE RUN GAME. FIND A WAY TO GET BACK INTO THAT, IT WILL OPEN EVERYTHING ELSE UP ALONG THE OFFENSE. >> Kevin: YOU SAW THE PLAY SELECTION. IT’S ABOUT EVEN. ONE MORE RUSH THAN PASS, WHICH IS NOT THEIR NORM. OUT TO RAYMOND. GETS A BLOCK, HAS A FIRST DOWN. KALIF RAYMOND, A COUPLE OF CATCHES. GOT A GOOD BLOCK FROM AMON-RA ST. BROWN. THAT’S SOMETHING THAT DAN CAMPBELL TOLD US, USUALLY WHY THE RUN GAME WORKS SO WELL, OUR RECEIVERS LOVE TO GET OUT AND BLOCK. >> Greg: ABSOLUTELY. AND WE’VE SEEN A COUPLE TIMES THIS JOB. WE’VE SEEN GREEN BAY GO TO MORE TWO-HIGH SOFT ZONE, AS THE LIONS GO UP TEMPO. >> Kevin: GIBBS. GETS SMOKED. LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS A HOLE THERE, AND THAT ONE CLOSED UP QUICKLY. IT WAS JONATHAN OWENS WITH THE BIG HIT. HE’S THE ONE WHO HAD THE FUMBLE RETURN TOUCHDOWN EARLIER. >> Greg: YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT THE WIDE RECEIVERS AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO COME DOWN. KALIF RAYMOND BLOCKED OWENS INTO GIBBS. HE WAS CRACKING HIM FROM THE OUTSIDE IN. IF HE GETS HIM DUG OUT THERE, THAT’S EVEN A BIGGER GAIN. GREAT JOB BY OWENS. >> Kevin: BOTH STARTING SAFETIES FOR THE PACKERS, RUDY FORD AND DARNELL SAVAGE IS OUT. SAVAGE HAS BEEN OUT FOR A WHILE. HERE IS RAYMOND, LOOKS TO GET TO THE EDGE. OWENS, AGAIN, UNDERCUTS HIM. HE’LL BE A LITTLE SHORT OF A FIRST DOWN, THE FINAL MINUTE OF THIS THIRD QUARTER. >> Greg: THEY LOVE THOSE KIND OF TRICK PLAYS. GOOD JOB BY LUKAS VAN NESS, HE KIND OF STRUNG IT OUT AND GAVE OWENS A CHANCE TO CHASE IT DOWN AND AT LEAST FORCE THEM TO HAVE TO SNAP THIS THIRD AND SHORT, IF THEY CHOOSE TO. OR THEY COULD TAKE THE REST OF THE QUARTER AND THINK THIS THROUGH. BUT THEY’RE LINED UP. >> Kevin: GIBBS, AND HE’S GOT THE FIRST DOWN. GOT A BLOCK FROM MALCOLM RODRIGUEZ, PLAYING MORE SNAPS AT FULLBACK TODAY. AND THAT WILABOUT. >> Kevin: THESE TEAMS GO BACK A LONG WAY, 189th MEETING TODAY. 22nd ON THANKSGIVING ALONE. THE LIONS START THE FOURTH QUARTER ON THE MOVE, BUT DOWN 15. HERE IS GOFF. BACK TO SAM LaPORTA, WHO IS IN TROUBLE. BREAKS OUT OF A TACKLE. THAT WAS A HECK OF AN EFFORT BY ENAGBARE TO SLOW HIM DOWN. >> Greg: THEY HAD THAT THING SET UP PERFECTLY ON THE THROWBACK TIGHT END SCREEN. THEY SEND HIM IN MOTION. LOOK HOW MANY LIONS BLOCKERS THERE ARE. JUST DIDN’T BLOCK HIM. >> Kevin: HERE IS GOFF. OVER THE MIDDLE. BALL IS LOOSE, AND PICKED UP BY DETROIT. IT’S INCOMPLETE NOW. REYNOLDS CAME IN TO SAVE THE DAY JUST IN CASE. IT WILL BE THIRD AND LONG. >> Greg: TOOK A POP ON THAT CHOICE ROUTE. LET’S TAKE A LOOK. DOES HE ESTABLISH HIMSELF HAVING POSSESSION? >> Kevin: KIND OF CLOSE. >> Greg: IT’S REALLY CLOSE. ANTHONY JOHNSON PUT THE HIT ON HIM. DIDN’T TAKE A THIRD STEP OR A FOOTBALL MOVE. THEY’RE GOING TO RULE IT INCOMPLETE. >> Kevin: LIONS HAVE TO GET TO THE 24. GOFF COMING BACK ON A SCREEN. GIBBS LOOKING FOR A BLOCK. GETS TAKEN DOWN. ANOTHER GREAT PLAY. THAT TIME ISAIAH McDUFFIE, AND FOURTH DOWN. YOU FIGURE YOU’VE GOT TO GO HERE. >> Greg: IT’S KIND OF THE SAME IDEA AS THE PLAY BEFORE. THIS TIME THEY USED AMON-RA ST. BROWN IN THE BACKFIELD TO THROW IT TO JAHMYR GIBBS. TWO PLAYS IN A ROW. THESE GREEN BAY DEFENDERS ARE ALL OVER IT. SETS UP FOURTH DOWN. THIS IS A BIG GAMBLE HERE. >> Kevin: LIONS 0 FOR 3 ON FOURTH DOWN TODAY. FOUR-MAN RUSH. THE BALL IS OUT! PACKERS WILL TAKE OVER. RASHAN GARY HAS HIS THIRD SACK OF THE DAY. AND THE LIONS, USUALLY SO GOOD ON FOURTH DOWN, 0 FOR 4 ON FOURTH DOWN TODAY. THE PRESSURE FROM GREEN BAY CONTINUES TO TELL THE STORY IN A . >> Greg: YOU’RE GOING TO SEE AT THE TOP, THE WHOLE TIME GOFF HAS HIS EYES TO THE RIGHT. SEE THIS COLLISION IN THE SLOT BY HIS TWO RECEIVERS? IT CLOUDS UP THIS LITTLE RETURN ROUTE. HE WANTS TO PUT THE BALL ON KALIF RAYMOND, BUT BY THE TIME THOSE INSIDE RECEIVERS GOT OUT OF THERE, IT WAS A REAL MUDDY PICTURE. YOU SEE THE DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, HIS GUYS, THIS HAS BEEN AS DEPRESSIVE OF A PERFORMANCE AS WE’VE SEEN SO FAR TODAY. >> Kevin: HERE IS A BLITZ ON LOVE, IN TROUBLE. TRIES TO GET IT OFF, AND IT’S INCOMPLETE. SLINGS IT OUT TO BEN SIMMS. HOW ABOUT THE DAY FOR RASHAN GARY? HE’S GOT A THREE-SACK GAME, TWO FORCED FUMBLES, AND RECOVERED THE FUMBLE. THAT WAS ACTUALLY A TURNOVER. SO A THREE-SACK GAME. CONSIDERING HOW THE GAME STARTED, RECOVERING FROM THAT ACL INJURY LAST YEAR, HE WAS ON A PITCH COUNT EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND WAS ONLY PLAYING A HANDFUL OF SNAPS. TODAY, THREE SACKS, AND HE’S BEEN AN ABSOLUTE MENACE. NOW IT’S LOVE. ANOTHER BLITZ. LOVE OVER THE MIDDLE. AND IT IS CAUGHT. ANOTHER TIGHT WINDOW, BUT HELD ON BY MALIK KEITH, WHO HAD ONE CATCH HIS WHOLE SEASON. HE’S GOT THREE TODAY. >> Greg: SOMETHING YOU HAVE TO NOTICE, THE BALL PLACEMENT OF JORDAN LOVE TODAY. HIS ABILITY TO PUT THE BALL ON THE BODY OF HIS RECEIVERS, K.J. THE SECOND YOU EXTEND YOUR HANDS OUTSIDE OF YOUR FRAMEWORK, AND THAT GUY IS DRAPED ON YOUR BACK, THAT’S WHERE YOU SEE HIM RAKE YOUR HANDS AND BREAK THE BALL UP. HIS ABILITY TO PROTECT THE RECEIVER CONTESTED CATCH BY PUTTING IS ON HIS NUMBERS, HE’S DONE THAT TIME AND TIME TODAY. >> Kevin: BLITZ. AND LOVE IN TROUBLE. TRIES TO GET IT OUT THERE. AND A RECEIVER IN THE AREA, AS WALKER CAME ON WITH THE PRESSURE. REED WAS NEAR THE AREA. SO SHOULDN’T BE GROUNDING AND WON’T BE. >> Greg: YOU’RE GOING TO SEE — ALL RIGHT, THERE’S A LATE WHISTLE HERE. EVERYONE IS GOING CRAZY. THE LIONS ARE CURRENTLY RUNNING THE BALL BACK. PUT THEY EVENTUALLY GOT THE WHISTLE OUT THERE AND SAID IT WAS CLEARLY INCOMPLETE. >> Referee: RECEIVER NUMBER 11 WAS IN THE AREA. >> Greg: YEAH, IT WAS CLEARLY INCOMPLETE. THEY BROUGHT TRACY WALKER ON PRESSURE, AND ORIGINALLY A NICE JOB BY PATRICK, THE RUNNING BACK, TO PICK HIM UP. BUT WALKER KIND OF SPUN OFF THE BLOCK AND GOOD JOB THERE BY LOVE, TWICE THIS DRIVE FACING PRESSURE IN HIS FACE, GETTING THE BALL OUT. WATCH TAYLOR, HE TAKES IT, KIND OF SPINS INTO IT. HE SAVED TWO SACKS. THAT’S SOMETHING JORDAN LOVE IS NOT ESPECIALLY GREAT AT, AVOIDING PRESSURE. HE’S DONE IT TWICE IN THIS POSSESSION. >> Kevin: SECOND DOWN ON THE FAKE. GOING TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE FIELD. CAUGHT BY HEATH AGAIN, HAVING HIMSELF A DAY. MALIK HEATH, THE ROOKIE FROM OLE MISS. LOVE SO CALM AND COLLECTED. HE LOOKS FANTASTIC TODAY. NOW A BIG THIRD DOWN AND FIVE. PRESSURE FROM HUTCHINSON. LOVE GETS IT AWAY. THROWS IT UP AND INCOMPLETE. ALMOST HAD IT IN JAYLEN REED. HAD HIS HANDS ON IT, COULD NOT BRING IT IN. IT WAS A CATCHABLE BALL. TOUGH CATCH, NONETHELESS. >> Greg: THEY CALL IT A V7 CORNER. HE KIND OF COMES OUT THE BACK SIDE AS HE UNDERCUTS IT. JUST GOES OFF THE HANDS OF JAYLEN REED. AND AT LEAST RIGHT NOW THEY’RE GOING TO LINE UP FOR THIS FOURTH DOWN TRY. IT’S LIKE A BATTLE OF THE FOURTH DOWN DECISIONS RIGHT NOW. >> Kevin: YEAH, NO ONE HAS MADE A SINGLE ONE. >> Greg: CURRENTLY BOTH TEAMS ARE O-FOR. >> Kevin: WE’LL SEE IF THEY GO FOR IT. THEY FAKED IT EARLIER. >> Greg: REMEMBER WHAT I SAID EARLIER ABOUT THE MOTIONS AND THE SHIFTS. >> Kevin: THEY’RE DOING THE SAME THING. NEVER KNOW. >> Referee: DELAY OF GAME, NUMBER 10 OFFENSE. FIVE-YARD PENALTY. FOURTH DOWN. >> Kevin: SO THE PACKERS WILL BRING ON THE PUNT TEAM. SO WHELAN TO PUNT IT AWAY. >> Greg: A COUPLE GOOD STOPS BY THIS LIONS DEFENSE. REMEMBER, THE JOURNEY OF GETTING TO 29 POINTS, MULTIPLE FAILED FOURTH DOWNS, A BUNCH OF TURNOVERS. THIS DEFENSE HASN’T BOWED UP WHEN THEY’VE HAD TO. >> Kevin: FAIR CATCH CALLED FOR. AND INSIDE THE 10. THAT’S WHERE THE LIONS WILL START, WITH 11:52 TO GO. FANS HERE HAVE BEEN RAUCOUS ALL DAY, BUT THEY’RE A LITTL CARE O EVERYTHING. NELLIE AND MITCH FAKING WITH BINOCULARS. FROM US TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, HAPPY THANKSGIVING. WE’VE SHOWN YOU SO MANY OF OUR HARD-WORKING CREW TODAY. LUCKY TO HAVE THESE GUYS WITH US EVERY WEEK. NOW THE LIONS, DOWN BY 15 HERE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, LOOKING FOR ANOTHER LATE COMEBACK LIKE THEY HAD ON SUNDAY. LOOKING TO TUCK AND RUN. WILL DO SO, AND GETS WRESTLED DOWN BY QUAY WALKER, RIGHT AROUND THE 14 YARD LINE. GOFF HAS BEEN UNDER CONSTANT PRESSURE HERE TODAY, AND THE TURNOVERS HAVE BEEN A THING. THEY HAD FOUR TURNOVERS AS A TEAM. HE THREW THREE INTERCEPTIONS. FOR THE LIONS FANS WHO ARE NOT FEELING GREAT RIGHT NOW, THEY WERE DOWN 12 WITH THREE MINUTES TO GO ON SUNDAY AND WON THAT GAME. >> Greg: IT’S SOMETHING DAN CAMPBELL CONTINUES TO STRESS. THE JOURNEY GETTING THERE LOOKS DIFFERENT, BUT LEARNING HOW TO WIN, HOW TO PULL THINGS OUT. >> Kevin: MONTGOMERY THROUGH THE HOLE, AND A FIRST DOWN FOR THE LIONS. >> Greg: YOU DON’T WANT TO MAKE A HABIT OUT OF HAVING TO PLAY FROM BEHIND AND LATE-GAME HEROICS. BUT, LISTEN, ON YOUR JOURNEY TO THE PLAYOFFS, YOU WANT TO WIN THE DIVISION, IT’S GOING TO TAKE SOMETIMES UGLY PERFORMANCES. UNFORTUNATELY FOR DETROIT, IT SEEMS LIKE IT’S BEEN MAYBE A FEW TOO MANY OF THEM IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT HAVE PUT THEM BEHIND THE EIGHT BALL. >> Kevin: A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION WITH PERSONNEL COMING BACK ON THE FIELD. NOW THEY GET IT RIGHT AND IT’S A FIRST DOWN. MONTGOMERY AGAIN, UP THE MIDDLE. STICKING WITH THIS RUN. OUT ACROSS THE 23 YARD LINE. WE TALKED ABOUT IT AT THE BEGINNING, THE LIONS WITH AN 8-2 RECORD, THEY’VE GOT A REAL CHANCE TO TRY TO GET HOME FIELD IN THE AFC. THE EAGLES, OBVIOUSLY, THE BEST RECORD IN THE LEAGUE. THE 49ers AND COWBOYS CLOSE BEHIND. THE PACKERS IN THE HUNT, THE BOTTOM OF THAT SCREEN, THEY HOLD ON TODAY, THEY’RE 5-6. THEY’VE GOT A VERY REAL CHANCE TO BE A PLAYOFF TEAM, AND NO ONE THOUGHT THAT A MONTH AGO. >> Greg: EXACTLY. HOW MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT WAS POSSIBLE JUST A FEW WEEKS BACK? >> Kevin: HERE IS GOFF. FIRES A STRIKE. IT’S CAUGHT BY JAMESON WILLIAMS. STILL ON HIS FEET, SPINNING. WILLIAMS DOWN TO THE 40. AND HE’S FINALLY STOPPED THERE. SO A MUCH-NEEDED EXPLOSIVE PLAY FOR THE LIONS, AND WILLIAMS PROVIDES IT. >> Greg: WE’VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT AMON-RA ST. BROWN, JOSH REYNOLDS, KALIF RAYMOND. BUT IT’S JAMESON WILLIAMS WHO BRINGS THE BIG PLAY, THE DOWNFIELD SPEED. DEALT WITH SOME ISSUES EARLY ON, INJURIES, SUSPENSION. AS THEY GET HIM ACCLIMATED, HE BRINGS AN ELEMENT DOWN THE FIELD THEY HAVEN’T HAD. >> Kevin: HE’S GOT THREE NFL TOUCHDOWNS, GREG. THEY’VE ALL BEEN OVER 30 YARDS. >> Greg: EXACTLY. >> Kevin: HERE IS GOFF. LOW THROW. TRYING TO GET IT TO GIBBS, BUT THREW IT INTO THE DIRT. AND IT’S SECOND DOWN. I WONDER IF YOU’RE BEN JOHNSON JUST WHAT YOU’RE FEELING GOOD ABOUT CALLING WITHOUT THE PRESSURE ON GOFF. IT’S BEEN CONSTANT FROM THE PACKERS. >> Greg: REALLY, IT’S COMING ON ALL DOWNS. TYPICALLY YOU SEE DEFENDERS PIN THEIR EARS BACK, KIND OF LIKE RASHAN GARY DID ON THE FOURTH SACK. THEY’RE ALMOST TREATING THEM LIKE A TYPICAL THIRD DOWN PLAY. >> Kevin: SECOND AND TEN. GOFF OVER THE MIDDLE. RAYMOND IN STRIDE, AND DIVING DOWN TO THE 15, KALIF RAYMOND. >> Greg: THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT TRAILING BY TWO SCORES IN THE FOURTH QUARTER THAT GETS JARED GOFF ROLLING. HE PUTS THIS ONE SQUARE BETWEEN THE 1s, AND I LIKE THIS. WHEN THEY’VE GONE UP-TEMPO IN DRIVES, THEY’VE HAD THEIR BEST SUCCESS. THEY’VE GOT TO FINISH IN THE RED ZONE, KNOWING THEY NEED TWO TOUCHDOWNS. >> Kevin: GIVE IT TO GIBBS. NOT MUCH THERE. AGAIN, IT’S JONATHAN OWENS WHO HAD THAT FUMBLE RETURN/TOUCHDOWN BEFORE. JONATHAN’S WIFE, SOMEONE YOU MAY KNOW, SIMONE BILES, A FOUR-TIME GOLD MEDAL WINNER. AND NOW JORDAN LOVE JUST WAITS. THE LIONS TRYING TO PLAY COMEBACK KIDS AGAIN. SECOND DOWN AND EIGHT. GIBBS, SLICING THROUGH. BOY, THAT WAS WELL PLAYED. I THOUGHT THERE WAS A SEAM THERE. NIXON HIT HIM OUT OF BOUNDS? I DON’T SEE ANY FLAG. THE CROWD WANTED ONE. >> Greg: YOU COULD HEAR THE CROWD. THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO GET A FLAG FOR A LATE HIT. I THOUGHT THE CONTACT STARTED IN THE GREEN. HIS RIGHT FOOT IS STILL IN THE GREEN. I DON’T THINK OWENS HIT HIM LATE. I THINK THAT’S A GOOD NO CALL, MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF THE FANS. >> Kevin: NO HUDDLE. THIRD AND FIVE. A LITTLE FAKE. ST. BROWN IN TROUBLE. BURIED. IT’S OWENS AGAIN. >> Greg: HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SAID HIS NAME TODAY? I MEAN, HE IS PLAYING AN INCREDIBLE GAME, RUN SUPPORT, PASS COVERAGE. HE IS ALL OVER. THIS IS NOT AN EASY PLAY. NOT ONLY TAKING ON THE KICKOFF BLOCK, BUT ONE OF THE BEST GUYS IN THE LEAGUE. >> Kevin: FOURTH AND SEVEN, THIS IS NOT EASY. THEY’RE 0 FOR 4 ON FOURTH DOWN TODAY. THEY’VE GOT TO GET TO THE 5. GOFF CAN’T FIN >> Kevin: THE LIONS DENIED ON FOURTH DOWN AGAIN. THE LAST THREE POSSESSIONS STOPPED ON FOURTH DOWN, A TURNOVER WHEN GOFF FUMBLED. THEN STOPPED ON FOURTH DOWN AGAIN. DAN CAMPBELL SAYS, I KNOW I’M AGGRESSIVE, I’LL LIVE WITH IT IF IT DOESN’T WORK. IT HASN’T WORKED TODAY AT ALL. AND NOW THE PACKERS WITH A CHANCE TO REALLY PUT THIS AWAY, AND THEY GIVE IT TO DILLON. A GAIN OF EIGHT ON FIRST DOWN. JOIN FOX SPORTS IN GIVING THE GIFT OF OPPORTUNITY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON BY SUPPORTING NONPROFIT PARTNER SPORTS CAREERS TO CHANGE THE LIVES OF UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS. VISIT TO LEARN MORE AND DONATE. >> Greg: THIS DETROIT LIONS DEFENSE CANNOT AFFORD TO GIVE UP REALLY MORE THAN PROBABLY ONE FIRST DOWN HERE. YOU START GIVING UP MULTIPLE FIRST DOWNS AND YOU’RE GOING TO START HAVING TO USE SOME OF THESE TIME-OUTS ON DEFENSE TO STOP THE CLOCK. THEY’VE GOT TO GET OFF THE FIELD. >> Kevin: DILLON. AND JUST SLAMMING INTO BODIES. I THINK HE’S GOING TO BE A LITTLE SHORT. BRIAN BRANCH CAME UP TO MAKE THE STOP. UNDER SIX MINUTES LEFT. >> Greg: I THINK YOU’VE GOT TO SELL OUT. THE DETROIT LIONS DEFENSE, YOU HAVE TO SELL OUT. THEY BEAT YOU ON THE PLAY ACTION PASS, THEY TRY TO THROW IT OVER YOUR HEAD, SO BE IT. >> Kevin: REMEMBER, MATT LaFLEUR TOLD US YESTERDAY, I’M UPSET ABOUT HOW CONSERVATIVE I WAS AT THE END OF SUNDAY’S GAME. DOES HE CHANGE IT HERE? >> Greg: I THINK IF HE THOUGHT HE WAS IN FOUR DOWN, MAYBE CLOSER TO MIDFIELD, IT WOULD CHANGE HIS APPROACH. WE’RE GOING TO FIND OUT. >> Kevin: LOVE IS GOING TO RUN IT. NO, HE’S GOING TO KEEP IT! HOW ABOUT THAT CALL? LOVE MAY GO THE WHOLE WAY! SLIDING DOWN AT THE 40. HE WAS NOT CONSERVATIVE, AND IT PAYS OFF FOR GREEN BAY. AND JORDAN LOVE WITH A HUGE RUN. >> Greg: THEY SOLD OUT. THEY JUST DIDN’T HAVE THE QUARTERBACK ACCOUNTED FOR. SOMETIMES THERE’S THE PERFECT CALL AT THE RIGHT TIME. THEY’RE GOING TO CRASH OFF THE EDGE. ANZALONE IS THINKING DILLON ALL THE WAY. AND THE PERFECT TIME. WE’VE YET TO SEE THEM USE JORDAN LOVE AS A TRUE RUNNER, AND WHAT BETTER TIME THAN NOW? >> Kevin: LONGEST RUN FOR JORDAN LOVE IN HIS CAREER. 37 YARDS ON A THIRD AND ONE. THAT MAY JUST TAKE THE HEARTS OUT OF THIS LIONS TEAM. NOW IT’S DILLON. HE’S HIT RIGHT AWAY. GOING TO LOSE A YARD. GREG, THIS LIONS TEAM IS SO GOOD ON FOURTH DOWN, THEY’RE MORE AGGRESSIVE THAN ANYONE IN THE LEAGUE. HASN’T BEEN THEIR DAY TODAY, THOUGH. >> Greg: AND THE FAKE PUNT I DIDN’T LOVE. I’VE ALWAYS APPRECIATED DAN CAMPBELL, HE DOESN’T SHY AWAY FROM THAT AGGRESSIVE NATURE. AND YOU CAN’T LET WHEN IT DOESN’T WORK OUT CHANGE YOUR APPROACH. TO THAT REGARD, I APPRECIATE THAT HE STAYS TRUE. DON’T LOVE THE FAKE PUNT. LISTEN, IN THE CRITICAL DOWNS ON FOURTH DOWN, IT CAME DOWN TO GREEN BAY MADE THE PLAYS, THE PASS RUSH, THE COVERAGE. THEY MADE THE PLAYS WHEN IT COUNTED. A THREE HERE BY GREEN BAY MAKES IT A THREE SCORE GAME, AND I’M NOT SURE THERE’S ENOUGH TIME. >> Kevin: PATRICK TAYLOR ON THE CARRY. NOT MUCH THERE. TIME TICKING AWAY. ABOUT 3:37 LEFT IN THIS NOW. LET’S SEE IF THE LIONS USE A TIME-OUT. THEY DO NOT. >> Greg: RIGHT NOW THE ENTIRE APPROACH OF MATT LaFLEUR, YOU’RE UP BY 15, THAT’S STILL A TWO TOUCHDOWN GAME, DEPENDING ON HOW YOU WANT TO CALCULATE THE TWO-POINT CONVERSION. THEY’VE GOT TO PICK UP ENOUGH YARDS HERE. YES, A FIRST DOWN WOULD BE GREAT. BUT AT LEAST PUT US IN A REASONABLE FIELD GOAL TRY, YOU PUT THIS THING TO 18. NOW IT’S THREE TOUCHDOWNS WITH THREE MINUTES TO GO. >> Kevin: PLAY CLOCK WINDING DOWN. THE PACKERS WILL CALL A TIME-OUT. DIDN’T WANT TO TAKE THE DELAY. SUNDAY, A DAY OF FOOTBALL ON FOX, AS USUAL. 1:00 EASTERN, SAINTS AND FALCONS, A BIG GAME IN THE NFC SOUTH. THE BROWNS TAKE ON THE SUDDENLY SURGING RUSSELL WILSON’S BRONCOS. CHECK FOR THE GAME IN YOUR AREA. ALL ON FOX. SEAN PAYTON, THE BRONCOS, EVERYONE THOUGHT THEY WERE DONE. NOT SO FAST. AND THIS HAS BEEN, I THINK, A STUNNER TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. THE LIONS COMING IN, THEIR BEST RECORD SINCE 1962. THIS CITY WAS JUST SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE. AND THE PACKERS HAVE COME IN AND PLAYED MAYBE THEIR BEST GAME OF THE YEAR, AS WE HAVE AN INJURY, AND THERE IS ALEX ANZALONE, WHO DID NOT MAKE IT OFF THE FIELD. YOU SEE HIM BEING ATTENDED TO BY TRAINERS. THIS IS A GUY THAT’S BEEN THROUGH A LOT IN HIS CAREER INJURY-WISE. HE’S HAD THREE DIFFERENT SHOULDER SURGERIES, AND MAYBE HAVING HIS BEST YEAR OF HIS CAREER THIS YEAR, SEVENTH YEAR IN THE LEAGUE. WHILE THEY ATTEND ANZALONE, HOPEFULLY HE’S OKAY, HE NOW IS UP. JORDAN LOVE, YOU COULDN’T ASK FOR MORE IN HIS FIRST THANKSGIVING START. HOW DID HE GO AGAINST THE LEGENDS, BRETT FARVE AND AARON RODGERS? >> Greg: THAT’S THE TRAJECTORY, THEY’RE HOPING THEY GO HALL OF FAMER, HALL OF FAMER, AND NOT GOING TO PUT THAT PRESSURE ON JORDAN LOVE. THAT’S THE HOPE. AS THIS SEASON HAS GONE ON, MAN, THIS KID IS ROLLING. STRAIGHT MAN. THERE’S NO SAFETY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. >> Kevin: BLITZ COMING. THIRD DOWN. LOVE FLOATS ONE. IT IS UNDER-THROWN AND INCOMPLETE. HE TRIED TO GET WATSON, BUT DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH MUSTARD ON IT. GREEN BAY SENDS THE PUNT TEAM OUT. >> Greg: BENITO JONES, NUMBER 94, HE WAS BARING DOWN ON LOVE. HE HAD A SHOT ON WATSON THERE TO PUT A DAGGER IN THIS ONE. IT’S A 15-POINT GAME, TWO TOUCHDOWNS AND TWO POINTS. THEY’VE GOT THE TWO-MINUTE, ALL THREE TIME-OUTS. SO DETROIT HAS GOT TO GO FAST. AGAIN, JUST LOOK BACK TO LAST WEEK. VERY SIMILAR SITUATION, VERY SIMILAR TIME ON THE CLOCK REMAINING. >> Kevin: WHELAN’S PUNT IS A GREAT ONE. FAIR CATCH INSIDE THE 10 BY RAYMOND. SO THE LIONS HAVE A LOT OF WORK TO DO, 2:46 TO PLAY, DOWN 15, ALL THREE TIME-OUTS. YOU’RE RIGHT, LAST WEEK IT WAS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. THEY WERE DOWN 12, NOT 15. THEY WERE DOWN 12, SAME TIME ON THE CLOCK. THEY ENDED UP WINNING THAT GAME. CAN THEY DO IT AGAIN? . >> Greg: AS AN OFFENSE, YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR TIME-OUTS ON DEFENSE. HOW FAST CAN YOU GO DOWN AND SCORE? YOU’LL USE THE TWO-MINUTE TO STOP THE CLOCK. THAT WAY IF YOU DON’T GET AN ONSIDES KICK AND HAVE TO GO ON DEFENSE, YOU CAN USE YOUR TIME-OUT TO TRY TO BUY THAT SECOND POSSESSION. >> Kevin: ST. BROWN HAS THE CATCH. OUT OF BOUNDS ACROSS THE 20. GOOD START FOR DETROIT. JARED GOFF TODAY HAS BEEN PRESSURED NEARLY HALF THE TIMES HE’S DROPPED BACK. HE’S LOST THREE FUMBLES, ONE HAS BEEN RETURNED FOR A TOUCHDOWN BY JONATHAN OWENS. IT’S JORDAN LOVE AND THIS GREEN BAY DEFENSE. CAN THE LIONS FLIP THE SCRIPT? IT’S PICKED UP. NEAR SIDE. LaPORTA HAS THE CATCH. AND WISELY TURNS IT UPFIELD AND OUT OF BOUNDS ACROSS THE 30. >> Greg: GOOD START HERE EARLY. GREEN BAY IS GOING TO WANT TO TRY AS MUCH AS THEY CAN WITHOUT GETTING SOFT INSIDE, THEY WANT TO PROTECT THE EDGES, TACKLE DETROIT INBOUNDS, GET THIS THING UNDER THE TWO-MINUTE WARNING. DON’T ALLOW DETROIT TO RUN TOO MANY OFFENSIVE PLAYS ON THE PLUS SIDE OF THE TWO-MINUTE. GET UNDERNEATH IT. NOW IF THEY WANT TO STOP THE CLOCK, IT’S GOT TO BE WITH ONE OF THEIR TIME-OUTS. >> Kevin: FOUR-MAN RUSH. STILL SOME PRESSURE. GOFF DELIVERS. INCOMPLETE. REYNOLDS KIND OF BEHIND HIM THERE. THIRD AND FOUR. >> Greg: IT LOOKED TO ME LIKE HE WANTED REYNOLDS TO KIND OF SETTLE. THAT’S WHY THE BALL ENDED UP BEING BEHIND HIM. THINKING ZONE, SETTLE, MAN, RUN AWAY. JUST GOT A LITTLE MIXED UP. >> Kevin: THAT’S THE KIND OF DAY IT’S BEEN FOR THE LIONS. >> Greg: JUST A LOT OF JUST MISSES. >> Kevin: THIRD DOWN. GOFF PUMPS, THROWS. GIBBS IS NOT — OH, IT’S CLOSE. THE SECOND EFFORT VERY CLOSE. WE’LL SEE WHERE THEY PUT THE BALL DOWN. BUT THE CLOCK IS RUNNING. AND HE IS SHORT. >> Greg: THIS IS WHERE EVERY TEAM IN THE LEAGUE WISHES THEY HAD PHILLIES BROTHERLY SHOVE. THEY’RE GOING TO BE IN THE GUN. >> Kevin: THIS IS THE GAME. FOURTH DOWN. GOFF TAPS IT. THROWS IT. AND THE DRIVE CONTINUES. THAT WILL BE A FIRST DOWN TO GIBBS AND THAT WILL TAKE US DOWN TO THE TWO-MINUTE WARNING. THER. SHAWN, STEVEN. I MEAN, THESE GUYS ARE SO GREAT EVERY SINGLE WEEK AT WHAT THEY DO. BETTER THAN ALL, THEY’RE JUST GREAT PEOPLE. THANKS, GUYS. WE LOVE YOU. LIONS DOWN BY 15, LOOKING FOR A THANKSGIVING MIRACLE. UNDERNEATH, AND THAT WILL RUN THE CLOCK. LaPORTA WILL PICK UP FIVE YARDS. THEY NEED MORE THAN THAT. THREE TIME-OUTS AT THEIR DISPOSAL. >> Greg: YOU’VE GOT TO IMAGINE AT SOME POINT YOU TAKE A SHOT, JAMESON WILLIAMS, GIVE HIM A DEEP BALL AND LET HIM GO. THAT’S WHAT GOT THEM BACK IN IT, THE QUICK STRIKE LAST WEEK. >> Kevin: FOUR-MAN RUSH OVER THE MIDDLE. THERE IS GIBBS. LOOKING LIKE HE’S TRYING TO SPRINT OUT OF BOUNDS. HE’S TRYING TO PICK UP THE FIRST DOWN. DID HE GET THERE? HE’S NOT AT THE FIRST DOWN. ARE THEY GOING TO RUN THE CLOCK? >> Greg: I THINK THEY SAID HE GOT OUT OF BOUNDS. THEY’RE WINDING IT NOW. HIS KNEE WAS INBOUNDS. >> Kevin: COMING UP NEXT, STATE FARM POSTGAME SHOW, THE $10,000 DONATION WILL BE GIVEN FROM THE NFL TO A YOUTH HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PROGRAM IN HONOR OF JOHN MADDEN AND HIS LEGACY. FIRING FAR SIDE. ST. BROWN IS DEFINITELY OUT OF BOUNDS. FIRST AND TEN WITH 1:10 TO GO. SO NOW LET’S LOOK AT THE NFC NORTH. LIONS ARE STILL IN A GOOD PLACE, OBVIOUSLY, IF THEY DON’T COME BACK HERE, 8-3. MINNESOTA HAS BEEN PLAYING WELL. GREEN BAY, IF THEY COULD GO TO FIVE WINS, THERE’S NO REASON THEY CAN’T BE A PLAYOFF TEAM. MINNESOTA CURRENTLY HOLDS THE FINAL SPOT. FOR GREEN BAY, THEY’VE GOT K.C. NEXT, THEN THE GIANTS, TAMPA, CAROLINA AFTER THAT. >> Greg: JUST THINK IF THEY COULD GET HEALTHY. >> Kevin: I KNOW. HERE IS GOFF. MORE PRESSURE ON HIM. STRUGGLING TO GET RID OF IT. IT’S LOW AND INCOMPLETE. >> Greg: JUST THINK, IF THIS GREEN BAY TEAM COULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET SOME GUYS BACK HEALTHY, ESPECIALLY ON DEFENSE AND RUNNING BACK. WE’VE SEEN THIS TIME AND TIME AGAIN TODAY. WOW, HE’S GOT HIM BY THE BACK OF THE COLLAR. >> Kevin: I JUST HOPE HE’S ALL RIGHT. HE WENT DOWN SO AWKWARDLY. >> Greg: I DON’T KNOW WHY THAT’S NOT A HORSE COLLAR. DETERMINE IF HE’S OUTSIDE THE POCKET OR NOT. THOSE ARE THE ONES THEY’RE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY FROM HITS ON THE QUARTERBACK. THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO START THROWING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. JUST WORKING THE BOUNDARY TOO MUCH. >> Kevin: PENALTY. THIS MAY MOVE THEM BACK EVEN MORE, AS THAT THROW IS INCOMPLETE. >> Greg: JUST RUNNING OUT OF GAS NOW. >> Referee: HOLDING, NUMBER 77 DEFENSE. TEN-YARD PENALTY. SECOND DOWN. >> Kevin: WE TOLD YOU ABOUT THE PACKERS UPCOMING SCHEDULE AND THEIR PATH TO A WILD CARD SPOT, WHICH THEY CLEARLY HAVE. THE LIONS LOOK LIKE THIS, THEY’LL STILL BE IN FIRST PLACE. THEY’VE GOT THE SAINTS, BEARS, BRONCOS, TWO WITH MINNESOTA. THEY’RE GOING TO END UP DOING GREEN BAY A FAVOR, YOU NEVER KNOW. DALLAS IS THE BIG GAME FOR THEM. DETROIT, EVEN WITH A LOSS TODAY, THEY’RE STILL IN PLAY FOR THE TOP SEED IN THE NFC. THIS ONE IS GOING TO STING IF THEY DON’T GET A MIRACLE HERE. SECOND DOWN AND 20. GOFF UNDERNEATH. ST. BROWN IS WIDE OPEN. LOOKING TO MAKE A MOVE. HE DOES. GREAT MOVE. FIRST DOWN. GETS OUT OF BOUNDS, WITH 52 SECONDS LEFT. >> Greg: NICE JOB THERE BY ST. BROWN. HE KNEW BALLENTINE WAS TRYING TO KEEP HIM INBOUNDS. HE REALLY OVERPLAYED THE SIDELINE. WATCH 35, BALLENTINE, OVERPLAYING THE SIDELINE. AMON-RA ST. BROWN IS SO GOOD WITH THE BALL. STILL GOT THEIR THREE TIME-OUTS. I JUST THINK THEY HAVE TO STILL BE WILLING TO THROW THE BALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD, ESPECIALLY WITH THE TWO HIGH SAFETIES. CHUNK PLAYS RIGHT NOW ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN GETTING OUT OF BOUNDS. >> Kevin: THIS TIME GOFF HAS TIME. LETS IT RIP OVER THE MIDDLE. CAUGHT BY RAYMOND AND HE HOLDS ON. THERE YOU GO, BIG PLAY. THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE TO CALL A TIME-OUT, AND THEY WILL. >> Greg: THERE YOU GO. EARLY ON, YOU WANT TO TRY TO SAVE THEM. NOW YOU’RE GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE YARDS ARE MORE IMPORTANT. THEY’VE GOT TO SCORE QUICK HERE. THAT WAS THE CHUNK THEY NEEDED. >> Kevin: YEAH, SO THAT’S WHERE WE’VE GOT LIONS HOPING TO PULL OFF THIS LATE RALLY. THEY NEED A LOT OF HELP HERE. WE SAY HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOURS. DO YOU FEEL DIFFERENTLY ABOUT GREEN BAY NOW AFTER WATCHING THIS GAME THAN YOU DID COMING INTO TODAY? >> Greg: I DO. AND THE SCARY THING IS, AS THESE YOUNG GUYS REALLY START GETTING THEIR FEET UNDERNEATH THEM, WE SAW CHRISTIAN LOVE BREAK OUT AND JORDAN LOVE IS PLAYING THE BEST BALL OF HIS CAREER. THINK OF THE GUYS WHO DIDN’T PLAY TODAY ON DEFENSE. JAIRE ALEXANDER, CAMPBELL, THEY START GETTING THE YOUNG GUYS BACK ON DEFENSE, THIS IS A TEAM THAT’S GOING TO FIND THEMSELF IN THE PLAYOFF PICTURE FOR A WHILE. >> Kevin: THEY THINK THAT AARON JONES HOPEFULLY WON’T BE OUT LONG. IT WAS FEARED IT COULD BE A LONG TIME OUT, AND NOW THEY DON’T THINK SO. RIGHT NOW THEY’RE TRYING TO CLOSE OUT THE LIONS WITH 46 SECONDS LEFT. AND WE GET A WHISTLE. NOW THE PACKERS CALL A TIME-OUT. WELL, IF YOU JUST TURNED US ON, MAYBE YOU JUST GOT DONE WITH THE TURKEY, HERE IS WHAT YOU HAVE MISSED SO FAR TODAY. IT IS JORDAN LOVE, JUST AN UNBELIEVABLE GAME FOR HIM. HE GOT OFF TO A HOT START, SCORED A COUPLE OF TOUCHDOWNS. THEN THE DEFENSE CHIPPED IN. STRIP SACK, JONATHAN OWENS RETURNED A FUMBLE FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. THE LIONS SO GOOD ON FOURTH DOWN, HAVE BEEN AN ON-FOR TODAY. THEN LOVE HAS BEEN SO GOOD IN HIS THANKSGIVING DEBUT. LOVE, THREE TOUCHDOWNS TODAY, COMING OFF A CAREER BEST GAME LAST WEEK. 268 YARDS. RASHAN GARY HAS THREE SACKS. THAT’S A CAREER HIGH FOR HIM. THAT’S THE STORY. 46 TICKS LEFT. GOFF OVER THE MIDDLE. IT IS CAUGHT FOR THE TOUCHDOWN. JOSH REYNOLDS. THERE’S A PENALTY FLAG, SO WAIT A SECOND. AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS OFFSIDES. THIS IS GOING TO COUNT. THE LIONS AREN’T DONE JUST YET. >> Referee: PENALTY IS DECLINED. TOUCHDOWN. >> Greg: WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, THEY’RE PLAYING TWO HIGH SAFETY ZONE, A LITTLE ONE-ON-ONE RICOCHET ROUTE THERE. THE BALL IS ON TIME, IN RHYTHM, AND HE’S ABLE TO PROTECT THE THROW BY BEING ON TIME. NOW, THEY’LL GO FOR TWO, TRY TO MAKE THIS A SEVEN-POINTER. AND OBVIOUSLY WE’LL HAVE AN ONSIDE KICK COMING UP IN A LITTLE BIT. >> Kevin: NEED THIS TO EVEN HAVE THE ONSIDE KICK MEAN ANYTHING. GOING TO GO QUICK. GOFF OVER THE MIDDLE. FIRES. AND THE TWO IS GOOD. SO A SEVEN-POINT GAME. HERE COMES IS ONSIDE KICK. >> Greg: NICE LITTLE SIT ROUTE HERE. JUST TELLING LaPORTA GET ACROSS THE GOAL LINE, I’M GOING TO STICK IT ON YOU. WELL-TIMED BALLS HAVE COME ALIVE IN THESE NO-HUDDLE SITUATIONS. YOU JUST HAVE TO WONDER IF IT’S TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. >> Kevin: THE LIONS STAYING ALIVE, AT LEAST FOR NOW. LaPORTA GETS IN ON THE TWO. THE STATE FARM POSTGAME COMING YOUR WAY NEXT. THE JOHN MADDEN PLAYER OF THE GAME PRESENTATION AS WELL. >> Greg: REMEMBER, THEY HAD TO USE AFTER THE DIG DEEP ROUTE COMPLETION A FEW PLAYS AGO, DETROIT DID HAVE TO TAKE ONE OF THEIR TIME-OUTS. SO IT PRETTY MUCH ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS. THEY CAN’T STOP IT THREE TIMES. SO IF GREEN BAY RECOVERS IT, THEY’LL TAKE THREE KNEES, AND THAT WILL BE IT. >> Kevin: LIONS ARE 0 FOR 4 IN ONSIDE TRIES THIS YEAR. JACK FOX, HIS OPPORTUNITY. GOT TO GO TEN YARDS. AND JAYDEN REED GETS ON IT. THE PACKERS TAKE OVER. AND THEY WILL WIN THIS GAME. HANG ON. PENALTY ON THIS PLAY. LET’S SEE THIS FIRST. PACKERS OFFENSE COMING ON THE FIELD. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS PLAY IS GOING TO HOLD. >> Referee: ILLEGAL FORMATION, NUMBER 21 OF THE KICKING TEAM. LEFT EARLY PRIOR TO THE KICK. THE FIVE-YARD PENALTY WILL BE ADDED TO THE END OF THE PLAY. FIRST DOWN. >> Greg: WITH THE NEW RULES, THEY’VE MADE RECOVERING AN ONSIDE KICK SO DIFFICULT, WITH WHERE THEY MAKE YOU LINE UP, YOU CAN’T OVERLOAD, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF GUYS OUTSIDE THE NUMBERS. THEY’VE REALLY CHANGED WHAT WE’RE ACCUSTOMED TO SEEING. AND WHAT A WIN, ON THE ROAD, SHORT WEEK. A BUNCH OF YOUR TOP PLAYERS NOT PLAYING. MATT LaFLEUR, THIS GREEN BAY ORGANIZATION, WHAT A GREAT JOB GETTING THIS GROUP READY TO COME PLAY THIS ROAD GAME ON THANKSGIVING. >> Kevin: CLEARLY THE WIN OF THE YEAR. YOU LOOK AT GREEN BAY, WE’VE WON THREE OF THEIR LAST FOUR GAMES. FIRST WIN AGAINST THE LIONS SINCE WEEK TWO OF 2021. IT’S BEEN A WHILE. IF YOU’RE A PACKERS FAN AT HOME TODAY, YOU’RE THINKING, MAYBE WE DO HAVE OUR QUARTERBACK OF THE FUTURE. >> Greg: SO YOU’RE TELLING ME THERE’S A CHANCE? >> Kevin: LOVE, SENSATIONAL. 268 YARDS, THREE TOUCHDOWNS TODAY. AND THE GREEN BAY DEFENSE THE STORY, AND AN UPSET HERE IN DETROIT ON THANKSGIVING. 29-22 THE FINAL. MORE TO DO HERE FROM DETROIT.
