The Green Bay Packers dropped to 2-2 on the season after being “manhandled” by the Detroit Lions in a 34-20 loss Thursday night.
Neither the offense nor defense came to play in the first half, allowing the Lions to take a 24-point lead into halftime. Last week, the Packers overcame a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the New Orleans Saints, but poor execution and too many self-inflicted wounds made another comeback inconceivable.
Green Bay came up short in every major facet of their Week 4 matchup against a divisional rival. Detroit won the turnover battle, was more efficient on third and fourth down, gained more yards, and dominated time of possession.
