The Green Bay Packers (13-4, 4-2 NFC North) closed out the 2021 regular season with a 30-37 loss to the Detroit Lions (3-13-1, 2-4 NFC North) in a week eighteen matchup that meant well…nothing.
The Lions won the toss and deferred, so the Packers were the first to take the field on Sunday and they did exactly what they needed to do in a game where not much matters besides getting good reps and keeping everyone healthy.
To open the game, quarterback Aaron Rodgers hit wide receiver Allen Lazard for a huge 28-yard pickup to move the chains.
