Green Bay — Green Bay's home-field domination of Detroit for 24 games was the longest by one team over another in National Football League history.
Now it is over.
Just when it was least expected, the lowly Lions overcame two weeks of firings in the coaching and front-office ranks to floor the Packers, 18-16, Sunday at Lambeau Field.
"It's a special thing for our fans, special for the Ford family and our organization," coach Jim Caldwell said. "I can certainly sense how eager everybody was to come here and get a victory."
In their 24-game streak (one was a playoff game), the Packers outscored the Lions, 677-378.
