GREEN BAY, Wisc. – For the first time in a long time, the Detroit Lions were favorites heading into Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers, but they didn't disappoint.
Without Aaron Rodgers, the Lions defense had its way with Brett Hundley and the Packers offense, allowing 17 points, most of which came with the game already in-hand.
