Green Bay gave Detroit all it could handle Thursday, but didn't utilize its star quarterback enough to show that it can compete with the NFL's best.
Dan Campbell had a mysterious look, the perfect poker face to leave us guessing on what he was going to do before a fourth-and-inches play with the game on the line for the Detroit Lions against the Green Bay Packers.
The Packers can’t just have teams fear Love’s second-half surge from 2023. They need him to play like it to have a chance in the NFC postseason, because this year’s version of Love has the Packers a distant fourth when it comes to the NFC’s power rankings. The money-making Love, the one who earned his massive paycheck last year, showed up in spurts in the second half against the Lions, but it was too late. There’s plenty to think about for Packers coach Matt LaFleur after Jared Goff executed a game-winning drive to give the Lions a victory and keep Love on the sideline.
Also, this retooled Packers’ offense in 2024 hasn’t cut down Love’s turnovers—he has 11 interceptions this season, but none on Thursday night, even when the offense picked up in the final two quarters. Love finished 12-of-20 for 206 yards and one touchdown. Only 20 attempts should be considered unacceptable for a quarterback as talented as Love. Goff went 32-of-41 for 283 yards, three touchdowns and one interception.
