The Green Bay Packers are the latest victim of the Detroit Lions, the NFC’s hottest team as winners of six straight.
The now-7-1 Lions used a balanced attack — consisting of an accurate Jared Goff, a steady one-two punch of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, and stellar defense — to dispatch the Packers, 24-14, in Week 9.
