Lions vs. Packers: Green Bay rallies at home

Then they remembered they’re the Packers, the Lions remembered they’re the Lions, and Green Bay won, 27-20.

Green Bay did a masterful job as the game went on of mixing up the play calls, keeping Detroit’s dangerous pass rush at bay. Over at ACME Packing Company, Kevin McCauley talks about the job Mike McCarthy and his team did:

Johnson remains a must-start fantasy option as he continues his attempt to break Jerry Rice’s NFL record for most receiving yards ever in a season. Matchups against Arizona, Atlanta and Chicago will be tough, but you’d be foolish to bet against the wideout at this point.

Detroit tacked on a field goal with less than 10 seconds to play to tighten the margin, but its onside kick attempt failed, and Green Bay ran out the clock.

During Sunday Night Football, we were visited by the most jolly of all holiday symbols. Nope, not old St. Nick. We’re talking about PARTY REF.

Party Ref, along with constantly annoying pink-beanied Packers fans sitting behind him, lives by some simple tenets. We could all learn a lot about life from the Party Ref directives:

Fat, jolly, whatever you want to call it, linemen scoring touchdowns are one of the most enjoyable happenings in pro football games. Packers defensive lineman Mike Daniels rode his momentum into the backfield, where he scooped up a Matthew Stafford fumble and took it all the way to the end zone.

Even better, Daniels did the Lambeau Leap to cap it off ... the fat guy leap.

The Detroit Lions look an awful lot like the Lions were supposed to look like this season. Wide receiver Kris Durham even took a page out of Calvin Johnson’s playbook with an amazing one-handed grab.

Matthew Stafford hit Durham on 2nd-and-6 from the Green Bay 33-yard line. Durham leapt into the air and hauled in the 27-yard pass at the six-yard line. Two plays after that, Detroit scored to take a 14-0 lead.

Notice the head-jerk? Dead giveaway he was slipping, not limbo-ing on purpose. Kudos for effort, though.

With kickoff a little more than an hour away, Green Bay and Detroit have released their inactive lists.

Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET. The game will be televised on NBC.

Devin Shanley from Acme Packing Company says Green Bay’s defense is doing what it takes to earn victories:

Sean Yuille from Pride of Detroit says the Lions can’t stop snatching defeat from the jaws of victory this season:

Green Bay is favored by 7 points, and the game will kicks at 8:20 p.m. ET.

The Packers have been decent against the spread this year at 6-6 -- they’re 3-3 at home and on the road. Vegas, meanwhile, has missed on the LIons, who are 4-7-1 against the spread and 2-3-1 on the road. Sunday night’s game kicks at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
