Last week’s key match ups ended up making a difference as the Lions finally won in Lambeau, getting a favorable matchup there for the first time in a long time. The Lions were coming off of their bye and played in Lambeau before December for just the fourth time since 2003.
With Eddie Lacy out, the Lions held James Starks in check allowing just 42 yards on 15 carries. The lack of a ground game forced the normally excellent Aaron Rodgers to throw the ball 61 times, far and away his highest number of attempts in his career.
