Game Recap: Lions Punch Packers into Offseason 20-16

With the season on the line, the 2022 Packers did what the 2022 Packers did all year - not quite enough. The offense got close, but not close enough. The defense was good, but not great. Time and time again this team failed to live up to their own expectations, and this time it closed the door on the season, and maybe the career for one Aaron Rodgers. A disappointment to be sure, but in all, impressive the team got into this position. But not even the most positive of mindsets or manifestations of the mind were enough to overcome mistakes and a very tough, very good opponent who more than deserved its victory in the Detroit Lions.
