NFL Week 14, Packers Vs. Lions: Will Heller TD Gives Lions 7-3 Lead

Finally, an offense has shown up at Ford Field.

The Detroit Lions, trailing the Green Bay Packers 3-0 mid-way through the fourth quarter, wrapped up a 12-play, 80-yard drive by hitting paydirt. Drew Stanton found reserve tight end Will Heller on a pretty rollout screen, and Heller took the pass 13 yards for the game’s first touchdown.

In all, the drive consumed six minutes and 37 seconds of game clock, and leaves the Packers in a 7-3 hole with just under eight minutes remaining in a game they really need to win.

Matt Flynn, playing quarterback in place of the concussed Aaron Rodgers, has already thrown an interception in this contest, and will now look to lead the Pack from behind. The 8-4 Packers, already a game behind the NFC North-leading Chicago Bears, need a win here to keep pace in the division. Flynn, who also has over 100 passing yards (and aside from the pick has actually played well, considering the circumstances), has a winning pedigree, but is clearly in a tough spot at the moment.
