Ford Field Showdown: Detroit Lions Fall to Green Bay Packers in Week 12

The Detroit Lions, with a record of 8-3, hosted the Green Bay Packers, who held a 5-6 record before the game. The final score at Ford Field was 29-22 in favor of the visiting team.

In an intense matchup at Ford Field, the Detroit Lions were unable to secure victory against the Green Bay Packers. Despite a strong offensive performance that amassed a total of 464 yards, costly turnovers proved detrimental for the home side. The Lions' offense managed to gain an average of nearly six yards per play over 78 plays but were hindered by three lost fumbles.

The passing game was solid with quarterback play yielding a passer rating of over one hundred and completing nearly sixty-six percent of pass attempts for two touchdowns and no interceptions. However, three sacks taken underscored some challenges in protection. On the ground, the rushing attack contributed effectively with one hundred forty yards on thirty-one attempts and secured one touchdown.

Special teams had mixed results; while kickoffs resulted in touchbacks on three out of four occasions and included an unsuccessful onside attempt, there was also a missed extra point attempt which could have been crucial points left off the scoreboard.

Defensively, while there were no sacks recorded by Detroit's defense during this contest, they did manage to hit Green Bay's quarterback four times and forced one fourth down stop. They also successfully defended against seventy-five percent of red zone attempts by their opponents but allowed almost forty-seven percent conversion on third downs.

Looking ahead after this setback at home against their divisional rivals from Green Bay Packers will not be easy for fans or players alike as they prepare for their next challenge. The upcoming game will see them travel to face off against New Orleans Saints at Caesars Superdome on December third at noon local time (1 PM Eastern Time).
