Matt Stafford made a big third down throw to TJ Jones to give the Lions a first down at the Green Bay 27. Points looked to be almost a certainty at this point, but Ameer Abdullah fumbled and the Packers recovered with 5:29 on the clock in the third quarter.
The Lions still lead, 17-3.
Lions defense comes up with big stop on fourth down

Green Bay called for a jet sweep to Randall Cobb, but Glover Quin snuffed it out with authority, dropping Cobb for a three-yard loss and giving the Lions offense the ball back in Packers territory.
