Teams Think Fano Should Go Back (Packers 31, Lions 24 - It didn’t appear as though this would be a high-scoring game. Jared Goff didn’t complete a single pass in the opening quarter, and it didn’t help that Amon-Ra St. Brown was lost to an ankle injury. The Packers, meanwhile, kicked an early field goal and were stuck on a fourth down in Detroit territory. Eschewing a field goal, the Packers had “No Cookie” Jordan Love throw a pass to Dontayvion Wicks for a touchdown, giving Green Bay a 10-0 lead.  There was some question as to whether Wicks caught the touchdown, but there was even greater controversy on a botched call on the ensuing touchdown. The Packers false started on another fourth-down try, but the officials incorrectly ruled that Matt LaFleur called a timeout before the penalty. On the ensuing play, the Packers scored to extend the lead to 17-7.  Throughout the rest of the second quarter and second half, both teams exchanged scores with some big plays. Jameson Williams scored a touchdown when he spun out of a tackle by Carrington Valentine. Meanwhile, Christian Watson hauled in a 51-yard bomb. The streak of scores finally snapped when Goff, who completed 14 consecutive passes beginning in the second quarter, had a bad miss on fourth down. Jahmyr Gibbs was also stuffed on a fourth down on a questionable play call.  The Lions were still up 10 late in the fourth quarter, but they were driving. Micah Parsons sacked Goff, forcing Detroit to settle for a field goal. The Packers took over, up seven, with three minutes on the clock. They were then stuck on a fourth-and-3 near midfield, but instead of punting, they went for the win. Love connected with Wicks, who made a leaping grab to end the game.):  https://walterfootball.com/nflreview.php
