Lions use gutsy 4th-down call to finish off Packers in thrilling NFC North battle

There isn’t a situation in which Dan Campbell won’t go for it on fourth down. We found that out on Thursday night.

The Detroit Lions failed on a fourth down from their own 31 earlier in the second half against the Green Bay Packers, and had what seemed like an obvious decision to kick a field goal with 43 seconds left in a tie game. But it wasn’t obvious. The Lions went for it, and even with Jared Goff falling down while taking the snap, he handed to David Montgomery for a 7-yard gain and a first down.
