Lions retain control of NFC North with late win over Packers
The Detroit Lions positioned themselves to repeat as back to back champions of NFC North with a 34-31 win over Green Bay Packers at Ford Field on Thursday night. The Lions have won 11 consecutive matches which is longest in franchise history despite falling behind 28-24 in fourth quarter and overcoming a plethora of defensive injuries. The Lions have not lost to Green Bay since Nov 23, 2023 which was 378 days ago and their lone loss this season came against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept 15. Detroit Sonic & Knuckles duo of running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery continued to feast Thursday.
