CBS Grades (Lions grade: B.  When the Lions look back at this game, they're going to be upset about two things: The officiating and their ability to convert in the red zone. Although the Lions offense was able to move the ball for most of the game, it seemed to fall apart every time it got closer to the Packers' end zone. The Lions got inside of Green Bay's 10-yard line a total of three times on Monday, but were only able to score one touchdown. The Lions offense also completely disappeared in the second half as Matthew Stafford threw for just 46 yards after throwing for 219 in the first half. The Lions defense gave up 447 yards, but it's hard to blame them for anything, considering Trey Flowers got called for two crucial hands to the face penalties that should've never been called.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-6-grades-redskins-and-dolphins-get-an-a-for-effort-packers-get-b-for-edging-lions/
