Why Jayden Reed didn't get a catch in Packers' loss to Lions

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It's hard to get many people the football when you run only 45 offensive plays, like the Green Bay Packers did in Thursday's 34-31 loss to the Detroit Lions.

Just ask Jayden Reed, the versatile receiver who at times this season has been the Packers' best player in the passing game. The ball came Reed's way only once against the Lions.

Maybe he would've seen it more if he didn't drop that lone target -- yes it was a drop, his mom said so. It happened on a short out on second-and-5 from Detroit's 47-yard line in the first quarter and would've been close to a first down.
