Entering Sunday, there was a chance that the Sunday Night Football finale between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions might be a win-and-in scenario for both teams. But when the Seattle Seahawks won earlier in the day, Detroit was eliminated. A few hours later, the Packers were, as well.
One of the key players in Detroit’s upset of the Packers was rookie safety Kerby Joseph. His fourth quarter interception of Aaron Rodgers gave the Lions possession, which they did not give back.
