Eager to end a three-game losing streak, the Detroit Lions picked a tough place to make a stand: Lambeau Field in a Monday night game against the Green Bay Packers. Stafford passed for 361 yards and two touchdowns to Marvin Jones, and Golden Tate added 113 yards on seven catches in a 30-17 win over the offensively challenged Packers. The win over the Packers allowed Detroit to stay within two games of the NFC North-leading Minnesota Vikings, who had a bye this week. Detroit have the best quarterback in the division now that Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers is sidelined with a broken right collarbone. Cornerback Darius Slay blanketed Jordy Nelson when the Packers did try to throw long while the game was still competitive.
