some mistakes they forced Green Bay to make and were fortunate some breaks simply went their way.Matthew Stafford threw two touchdown passes and LeGarrette Blount ran for two scores Elgton Jenkins Jersey , lifting the Lions to a 31-23 win over the Packers on Sunday.Detroit (2-3) earned a win it desperately needed under first-year coach Matt Patricia, going into its bye week.“We get two weeks to 10 days to sit on whatever happens,” said Stafford, who was 14 of 26 for 183 yards with two TDs and no turnovers. “And, it feels a whole lot better with a win.”Green Bay (2-2-1) was doomed because veteran Mason Crosby had the worst game of his life and two-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers lost two fumbles for just the third time in his 14-year career.“We just couldn’t overcome all the things we did wrong,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “We did some good things in the second half, but you can’t dig yourself that kind of hole.”Crosby missed a career-high four field goals in one game and failed to make an extra point to boot. He connected on a field goal with 2 seconds left, but that wasn’t of much consolation after his poor performance.“I look back and I’m thinking, in my childhood, in high school, this is definitely one of the worst ones,” said Crosby, the first NFL kicker to miss four field goals in a game since 2010.Detroit recovered an onside kick to seal the win, preventing Rodgers from getting another chance at a game-winning Hail Mary in Detroit like the one he threw in 2015.The Lions built a big lead in the first half, picking up where they left off in their last home game, a 16-point win over the New England Patriots.Blount had a pair of 1-yard TD runs in the first quarter and Stafford’s 8-yard pass to Marvin Jones late in the second quarter put Detroit up 24-0.Patricia, though Dexter Williams Jersey , didn’t think the Lions’ cushion was comfortable.“Unfortunately, I’ve seen that quarterback on the other side there crush a lot of leads pretty quickly and come back,” said Patricia, a former Patriots defensive coordinator.Rodgers, missing injured receivers Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison, threw short TDs to rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Lance Kendricks in the third to pull the Packers within 10 points.Stafford answered with a 5-yard TD pass to Kenny Golladay early in the fourth quarter to give Detroit a 31-14 lead.“It was big to chew up some time to give our defense a little bit of a rest and come away with some points,” Stafford said.Rodgers connected with Davante Adams on a 12-yard throw for a third TD pass, but Crosby hit the left upright on the extra point to let the Lions keep an 11-point lead midway through the fourth quarter. Adams has scored in 10 straight road games, equaling a league record set by Tommy McDonald of the Philadelphia Eagles from 1959 to 1961.Rodgers was 32 of 52 for 442 yards — the second-highest total of his career — with three TD passes.“We’ve been a one-half team all year,” he said. “We need to do something about that.”STREAKINGThe Lions, who didn’t face Rodgers last year, have won three straight in the series for the first time the 1990-91 seasons.SOUND STRATEGYDetroit had success on defense, going after Rodgers with just four players and dropping seven into coverage. Rodgers held onto the ball to wait for receivers to get open, but they couldn’t, and it led to three sacks and his two fumbles.“They gave up rushers in order to extend plays, and they got some turnovers out of it,” McCarthy said. “We’re usually successful in those situations Vince Biegel Color Rush Jersey , but they did some good things.”INJURY REPORTPackers: LB Nick Perry (ankle) and CB Kevin King (chin) were hurt during the game.Lions: RB Kerryon Johnson, who ran for 70 yards on 12 carries, went out in the fourth quarter after appearing to hurt his right ankle. CB Teez Tabor (groin) and CB Jamal Agnew (knee) also left the game with injuries.UP NEXTPackers: Host San Francisco on Monday, Oct. 15.Lions: Off until playing at Miami on Oct. 21. Despite the Packers’ 5-8-1 record, the team has seen several individual players post excellent seasons. On Tuesday, two of those players were named to the 2019 Pro Bowl, according to Michael Cohen of Packersnews.com.Wide receiver Davante Adams and quarterback Aaron Rodgers have earned trips to Orlando this January as part of the initial round of voting. This is the second appearance in the game for Adams, who was a Pro Bowler in 2017. Rodgers has now made seven Pro Bowls, going in 2009, 2011, 2012, and each year from 2014 through 2016.Adams is among the leaders in the NFL in receiving this season, ranking fourth in receptions (100) and receiving yards (1,315) and ranking second with 12 touchdown catches. He is on pace to set the Packers’ single-season record for receptions, currently held by Sterling Sharpe with 112 in 1993, and is on pace for just the second season of 1,500 receiving yards in team history.Despite a down year by his standards https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Antonio-Morrison-Jersey , Rodgers still has some impressive numbers relative to the rest of the NFL. He has the lowest interception rate in the NFL at just 0.4%, and his 23:2 touchdown-to-interception ratio is at the top of the leaderboard. However, his passer rating of 97.2 is well off his career average and ranks just 14th overall in the NFL. The Packers also have three alternates on this year’s squad, and they may indeed make the team when all is said and done. Those players are left tackle David Bakhtiari, center Corey Linsley, and defensive tackle Kenny Clark.Bakhtiari has remained one of the NFL’s best left tackles in 2018 after earning second-team All-Pro honors a year ago. However, he was snubbed for a Pro Bowl nomination last season. Bakhtiari is an exemplary pass-blocker who has developed into a fine run-blocker over the length of his career, and his availability (missing just 11 snaps all season) is a critical factor.Linsley’s first Pro Bowl appearance will come in his first season under a new contract extension, which he signed just before the end of the 2017 season. A fifth-round pick from Ohio State in 2014, Linsley has started 68 games in his five years, and has missed just a single snap since returning from the PUP list in the eighth game of the 2016 season.Clark, a third-year player, has been a dominant force on the inside for the Packers’ defensive line all season despite personnel consistently changing around him due to injury. In 13 games, he has a career-high six sacks, giving him 10.5 sacks in his last 18 games dating back to 2017. Equally adept in anchoring against the run as he is providing an interior pass-rush, Clark is fully deserving of this honor and remains under contract for next season with a team option for 2020.
