Lions 'all in' on Dan Campbell's gamble in walk-off victory

DETROIT -- Dan Campbell didn't bat an eye.

Facing fourth-and-inches from Green Bay's 21-yard line with 43 seconds left in the game and the score tied at 31-31, the Detroit Lions head coach decided to go for it.

The gamble paid off, as Lions running back David Montgomery plowed up the field for 7 yards. The conversion help set up a walk-off kick for Jake Bates, who nailed a 35-yard field goal as time expired to give Detroit a 34-31 win against the Packers. With the victory, the Lions also clinched a playoff spot for the second consecutive season, which hasn't happened in Detroit since 1994-95.
