Lions 24, Packers 16 (6:06 3rd)

Injury update: Lions OT Taylor Decker (foot) is questionable to return.

St. Brown entered the game as the first rookie in NFL history with eight catches in five straight games, then needed exactly one more catch on Sunday to break Roy Williams’ franchise rookie record for receiving yards in a season. He broke the catches record weeks ago. There has never been a more productive rookie receiver in the history of this franchise.

Green Bay's run game is getting going, as Patrick Taylor starts the drive with a 12-yard run.

A 12-yard pass gets Green Bay to first-and-10 at the 24, where the Lions force third-and-2. They're able to break up a throw to the end zone, and will call a timeout before Green Bay goes for it on fourth-and-2.

Timeout #1 Detroit (2:33 3rd)

The pass gets exactly enough to move the chains, bringing up first-and-10 at the 13.
