Dec 6, 2024, 03:02 AM

The Detroit Lions edged out the Green Bay Packers 34-31 in a Thursday night thriller, improving their record to 12-1 and solidifying their lead in the NFC North. Lions quarterback Jared Goff delivered a stellar performance, leading an offense that successfully converted four of five fourth-down attempts, including two touchdowns. Head coach Dan Campbell's aggressive play-calling was pivotal, notably going for it on fourth-and-inches with 24 seconds left to set up the game-winning field goal. The Lions kept possession and ran down the clock before securing the victory, which clinches a playoff spot and diminishes the Packers' chances of winning the division. Packers quarterback Jordan Love showcased impressive moments in the second half but was unable to overcome the Lions' lead.
