8 candidates for the Lions Week 18 game ball vs. Packers

The Detroit Lions exorcised some demons in Week 18, walking into Green Bay with the purpose of eliminating the Packers from the playoffs and letting a national audience know the Lions' time is now.

On their way to a 20-16 victory, the Lions had several players make key plays, which leads us to our Week 18 game ball candidates.

Kerby Joseph

Stats: 5 tackles, 1 interception, 2 pass breakups

When Joseph intercepted Aaron Rodgers late in the fourth quarter, not only did he get the ball back to the offense for a game-winning drive, but he became the only player in NFL history to intercept Rodgers three times in one season.
