Green Bay, Wis. — Misery loves company, but for these Detroit Lions, there was joy to be found beyond making sure the Green Bay Packers' season ended the same way there's did earlier Sunday: Being knocked out of the playoffs.
The young and resilient Lions overcame the cold and some costly penalties to top the Packers, 20-16 at Lambeau Field, in the final game of the 2022-23 regular season. The victory, the Lions' eighth in 10 games, ensured the franchise's first winning record since 2017, an accomplishment all the more impressive given the team's 1-6 start to the season.
