Ford Field erupted with boos as the Detroit Lions offense went three-and-out. It was midway through the fourth quarter and the Lions’ lead over the Green Bay Packers had shrunken to just 11 points. The tide was shifting and they were about to give Aaron Rodgers the ball back with plenty of time, due to some very conservative play-calling from offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter. A draw play on second-and-25. Another one on the ensuing third-and-22. The Lions were bleeding clock, but Rodgers was dicing up the Lions secondary, and it seemed like a comeback was in the cards.
