The Lions went into their "Sunday Night Football" game against the Packers with little for which to play.
The Seahawks had beaten the Rams in overtime in their 4:25 p.m. ET game to guarantee that even with a win, the Lions wouldn't go to the playoffs. So, Detroit could only play the role of spoiler against Green Bay — and for the consolation prize of the franchise's first winning record since 2017.
Even still, Dan Campbell's bunch came into the game motivated to win. As a result, the game was tight throughout. Neither team led by more than six points, and the game seesawed back and forth in the second half.
