Around the NFC North: 2023 Week 12

It was bizarro week in the NFC North. The Lions were upset in a game where they were the heavy favorites over the Packers and Packers fans had to spend Monday Night Football twisting their brains into knots rooting for the Bears.

The Lions succumbed to the Packers 29-22.

Game Notes

  • Never go full pumpkin. Thanks to plenty of garbage time, Jared Goff's surface-level stats look fine for this game. He had 332 yards, 7.5 YPA, 2 touchdowns, and he also gave away the game for the Lions with three costly fumbles.
  • The Lions' usual suspects, David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs, the Sun God, Sam LaPorta and Jameson Williams, all had productive games, it just happened to all be in garbage time because of the turnovers and because the defense is now certified horrific.
