GREEN BAY, Wisc. -- Darius Slay doesn't show up on the box score in the Detroit Lions' 18-16 win over the Green Bay Packers, but that doesn't mean the third-year cornerback didn't make an impact. In fact, he delivered one of the standout performances in the victory.
With Rashean Mathis done for the season, the Lions called upon Slay to follow wide receiver James Jones, Green Bay's top big-play threat this season, around the field.
Slay's coverage was so sticky, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers rarely looked Jones' way, throwing to the trusted veteran target just twice. And just like Slay didn't make a dent in the box score, neither did Jones, who was held without a reception for the first time this season.
