Packers vs. Lions Recap: Detroit escapes with 34-31 win after going 4-of-5 on 4th down

The Green Bay Packers gave the Detroit Lions all that they could handle on Thursday night, but this time there was no Motor City Miracle to be had for the Packers coming out of the Thanksgiving holiday. A back-and-forth second half saw the teams trade the lead four times, but in the end it was the Lions who ran down the clock and kicked a game-winning field goal with no time left to finish off the season sweep over Green Bay.

Detroit’s 34-31 victory clinches a playoff berth for the Lions, while the Packers will remain in the 6th spot in the NFC playoff picture.
