Packers lose first game

Oh, and they lost to the Detroit Lions , a verdict secured on C. The Packers will go into the playoffs with a record; the Lions will go into the offseason with a mark of Deguara got a pancake block from Lucas Patrick, broke a tackle near midfield and raced the rest of the way. Love added the two-point conversion on a read-option keeper. Detroit raced right down the field with a yard reverse by Kalif Raymond, a yard catch by Amon-Ra St. Brown in which he took a big shot by Henry Black and broke loose for 15 more yards, and a yard pass to tight end Brock Wright to the 14 at the 2-minute warning.

Love was intercepted on the second play of the ensuing possession, his pass to Amari Rodgers deflected at the line by linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin and grabbed by Moore. He got it on the third series. He closed his prolific eighth season with franchise records of receptions and 1, yards. Rodgers needed 23 passing yards to record yet another 4,yard season.

He got it on the first play of the game with a completion to Allen Lazard. He joined a short list with his 10th season of 4,plus yards.

And, with a superb yard touchdown pass to Lazard, he extended his streak of games with two-plus touchdown passes and zero interceptions to seven, the second-longest in NFL history. After throwing two interceptions in the opener, he threw 37 touchdowns and two picks the rest of the way to put his stamp on the MVP race.

But a mostly reserve unit on defense allowed the Lions to answer with a yard touchdown drive, and then Love was intercepted on Green Bay's last two possessions in the final two minutes. The first pick was bad luck, getting deflected multiple times and winding up in safety C. Moore's arms to set up a Lions field goal for a seven-point lead. The second was a bad throw, intercepted by safety Tracy Walker with 21 seconds left. With six catches for 55 yards, Adams ended the regular season with receptions for 1, yards, both single-season franchise marks.

The one for catches was his own that he had already broken last week. The yards record had been 1,, set by Jordy Nelson in , and Adams topped it in 16 games, having missed one contest this season. Incredible talent and drive and I'm just so fortunate to be a part of it. Adams wound up 14 yards shy of moving past Sterling Sharpe into third place on the franchise's all-time list for receiving yards. He's at 8, through eight seasons. The Packers' focus now turns to the playoffs, with a bye and waiting to find out their opponent in the NFC Divisional round.

We need everybody's best effort every day. Green Bay is with the No. Just like last season, which ultimately didn't go their way, the Packers need two victories at Lambeau Field to go to the Super Bowl. Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers admits it is 'way harder' to retire after a good season Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is in the midst of one of his best seasons with the franchise right now and looks like he could possibly lead his team to the second Super Bowl under him. If he were to do that, many think Rodgers, 38, could call it a career.

Like Comment Share. One of the topics discussed was the debunked rumor that he would consider skipping the Super Bowl.

Yosh Nijman and Royce Newman — who has been starting at left tackle and right guard, respectively — went to the bench.

It was tough. Definitely wore mentally on me more than anything, but I was fortunate, so happy just to see the other side, be out there with the guys and play, by any means.

So I was really just pumped to be out there today. Just meant a lot. The Lions scored on three of their four first half possessions and led, , at the break. Detroit ran a trick play in which wide receiver Tom Kennedy threw a yard touchdown pass to Kalif Raymond.
