Lions take charge of the NFC North with dominant 1st half in win over Packers

The last time the Detroit Lions looked this good on a big stage, Barry Sanders might have been in the backfield. Or maybe it was back when television sets were in black and white.

Lions fans might not know what to do with themselves after Thursday night. After a 34-20 win over the Green Bay Packers that was dominant other than a lull in the third quarter that allowed the Packers briefly back in the game, the Lions look like the clear favorite to win the NFC North. They haven't won a division title since 1993.

The Lions started as poorly as you can, with Jared Goff throwing an interception over the middle.
