The Detroit Lions rolled past their rival on Sunday, beating the Green Bay Packers 24-14.
The win puts the Lions at 7-1 on the year and marks their sixth consecutive win.
It wasn’t the offensive outburst fans have come to expect from Detroit, but that was somewhat expected given the harsh elements as rain poured down throughout the entire game.
Still, quarterback Jared Goff continued to be extremely efficient, completing 18 of his 22 passing attempts for 145 yards and a touchdown. He found his favorite target, Amon-Ra St. Brown for his sole passing touchdown.
On the ground, Jahmyr Gibbs picked up 65 rushing yards and a touchdown while David Montgomery rushed for 73 yards.
Though they were without Brian Branch for most of the game after the defensive back was ejected for helmet-to-helmet contact in the second quarter, the Lions defense held strong and allowed just six points until the final minutes of the fourth, though Green Bay’s late touchdown proved to be inconsequential.
After another win for Detroit, fans applauded Goff and the Lions.
Albert Breer @AlbertBreerLions QB Jared Goff is 11-for-11 right now. And that makes him 99-of-117 since Week 3. Which puts him at 84.6% completions over his last five-and-a-half games.
Pretty insane.

Duncan Smith @DuncanSmithNBAWe’re at the point where when Jared Goff throws an incompletion I am certain there is either a flag or a missed call

Bryan Dee @BryanJDeeJared Goff is great. He’s better than Jordan Love and there’s no evidence to the contrary. https://t.co/KbfJlDGPcL
Ryan Hickey @Ryan_Hickey3One of the only knocks you could have made against the Lions was Jared Goff’s inability to play in cold/bad weather. Detroit is proving that point to be irrelevant since they will just run the ball down your throat
Ken – Packers Cap @KenIngallsJared Goff has 1 incompletion at halftime in a monsoon and it came when the receiver looked like he ran the wrong play.
Mal Skywalker @MrHart__Wow… I was a lil worried about the weather but Jared Goff is showing why he should be the leading candidate for MVP. 11 for 11 so far 😳
Montrell Howell @Mony_CarloJared Goff chants in Lambeau!?

John Frascella (Football) @NFLFrascellaJared Goff is 11-for-11 AGAIN on a national stage… how does he keep doing this when everyone is watching? And this time in the POURING rain? pic.twitter.com/gx5UPCj0fI
Nick Baumgardner @nickbaumgardnerso, Jared Goff has now completed 85 of his last 100 pass attempts …

After a win over the Packers, the Lions are firmly in the driver’s seat in the NFC North. They beat the Minnesota Vikings two weeks ago and took down their other top challenger on Sunday.
Detroit won its first division title since 1993 a year ago and seems well on its way to another this year. Now, the Lions are looking to continue inching towards the top seed in the NFC.
