Love's 4 TDs Power Packers Past Lions
27 Nov
Summary
- Jordan Love threw four touchdown passes, a career high.
- Green Bay secured a potential tiebreaker over Detroit.
- Lions' key fourth-down conversions failed, hindering their offense.
Jordan Love's stellar performance, featuring a career-high four touchdown passes, propelled the Green Bay Packers to a decisive 31-24 win against the Detroit Lions on Thursday. This victory secured the Packers' sweep of the season series, positioning them advantageously for a potential tiebreaker in the competitive NFC North division.
The Lions' offense faltered on critical fourth-down attempts throughout the game, including early in the second half and in the fourth quarter. A crucial stop by Green Bay's defense on fourth down was followed by Love's 51-yard touchdown pass to Christian Watson, extending the Packers' lead.
Jared Goff also threw for two touchdowns, but the Lions' inability to convert on key downs, coupled with a late field goal that still left them trailing, proved costly. Jameson Williams had a career-best receiving performance but dropped a pivotal fourth-down pass.
