I cringed when Rodgers threw long on second-and-9, late, instead of trying to put the game away by getting a first down. That led to the huge rush and him hurting his hip. Did ML apologize for calling that silly play and putting our porous defense back on the field during crunch time? This time of year you can't make those unforced errors.
LaFleur regretted not running the ball on third-and-9 there to make Mason Crosby's field goal easier.

Take a bow, Mr. Crosby. Take a bow!
That was one clutch kick. I wish the TV had corrected that it was officially a 57-yarder, not 58, because I said in the live blog it tied the franchise record and found out much later it didn't. But wow, that was a gutsy call. I admit, and Wes will verify, I was saying punt the ball. With Stafford banged up and maybe not returning, I was fine making Chase Daniel and the Lions go 90 yards for the tie. The field-position risk was enormous there, but that's why I'm sitting here, and that's why Crosby is Crosby.

Can Mason teach JK Scott how to tackle?
I think he just did.

Watching UCLA vs. USC and see Graham Harrell is OC/WR coach and Amon Ra St. Brown just scored a TD. Funny what a small world football is at this level.
And the guy who quarterbacked the Badgers to their first Rose Bowl in three decades and was at one time the position coach for Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers just coached against the Packers as the head coach of a division rival. So, yeah.

Daughters and granddaughters everywhere will remember Sarah Fuller's historic PAT. You go girl!

Mike, I was playing with another site's playoff simulator and it looks like if KC beats the Saints next week the Packers will clinch the No. 1 seed with wins over their two NFC opponents. I like those odds. Go Chiefs!
That may be true, but just (keep) win(ning), baby.

What's your thoughts on Garrett getting nominated for Man of the Year? I know everyone deserves a mulligan now and then, but it seems a bit too soon to me and I wonder how that might impact the prestige of the award.
I was taken aback certainly, but each organization makes its own decision. I'm not privy to any team's process, but I just hope the primary motivation was not to rehabilitate a player's image.
Tony from Chanhassen, MN
Glad the Eagles waited a week to start Hurts.
Yeah, I think the Packers caught a break there with Philly coming off a Monday night game. It was too short a week to make the change.
Dan from Bridgman, MI
I was admittedly miffed when the Packers took Rashan Gary in the first round. Now, I'm really excited about him. He's on pace to triple his sack total from 2019 and I think he'll have a true breakout year in 2021 (while the Packers are hopefully defending a title). Based on what we're seeing this year, who is your too-early prediction for breakout player of 2021?
AJ Dillon, Kamal Martin, Jon Runyan and Vernon Scott from the 2020 draft class could all be legitimate candidates. Josiah Deguara too, health pending. But a lot will hinge on how the roster looks, too.
Ryan from Omro, WI
Any update on Gary? I didn't see him in second half and he's really starting to be a difference-maker. Also thought Vernon Scott played well with more playing time.
LaFleur didn't specify but said after the game Gary was dealing with something. I think Scott could be a sleeper for the defense down the stretch.
Tom from Palatine, IL
It was great to see Marquez Valdes-Scantling so involved in the game plan after being shut out for a couple games. This is the first time I recall him being more of a route runner and move-the-chains type of receiver as opposed to a stretch-the-field sort. Do you think this was a game plan decision or more of Rodgers just taking what he was being given? Great team victory and Detroit showed us a lot as always.
It felt to me the Lions changed something defensively to focus more on Davante Adams after the early 56-yard TD, and I think MVS benefited from that and was ready for those opportunities. The words after the game from the players were "strong hands" that he showed on the back-shoulder TD and the third-and-long comebacker. That looked new to me and a positive step.
