It’s no secret that it takes a full four-quarter effort to defeat the Green Bay Packers on their home turf. As such, the Detroit Lions’ strong opening half was not nearly enough to hang with their long-time rivals.
Tailback Aaron Jones racked up four touchdowns and the Packers outscored the Lions 21-0 in the second half in a 35-17 victory at Lambeau Field on Monday Night Football. The Packers evened their record at 1-1 while the Lions fell to 0-2 for the third time in the last four seasons.
A sharp opening drive by the Lions ended with a 5-yard touchdown reception by wideout Quintez Cephus.
