DETROIT -- Aaron Rodgers took every hit the Detroit Lions could dish out.
He just kept throwing -- and winning.
Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and the Green Bay Packers built a big lead in the third quarter thanks in part to Ndamukong Suh’s ejection
during a 27-15 victory in Detroit on Thursday.
Detroit’s best chance to beat the Packers was to knock Rodgers out of the game, just as it did last year in a victory that started a nine-game
winning streak.
The Lions gave that tactic a shot, hitting him even if he had already gotten rid of the ball. Kyle Vanden Bosch was flagged for one of those late hits
and could’ve drawn another penalty for trying to rough up the star quarterback even more on the same drive.
The defending champion Packers are 11-0 for the first time in franchise history and have won a team-record 17 straight, including the playoffs.
While the Packers are working on a perfect season, Detroit (7-4) has to figure out a way to avoid the physical and mental mistakes that have put
the team on the playoff bubble after a 5-0 start.
Suh’s day might lead to another fine -- and possibly a suspension.
He was tossed for stomping on Evan Dietrich-Smith’s right arm in the third quarter.
The Packers took advantage of Suh’s misstep just as they did on Matthew Stafford’s three interceptions.
John Kuhn followed nose tackle B.J. Raji for a 1-yard TD plunge after Suh was flagged on third down, and Green Bay turned Stafford’s interceptions
into two TDs and a field goal.
Detroit became the NFL’s first team to win three games in a season after trailing by 17 points with Sunday’s comeback win over Carolina, but the
Packers proved they weren’t as vulnerable as the Panthers.
The Lions finally scored when Keiland Williams ran for a 16-yard TD with 13:11 left and added the 2-point conversion on a pass from Stafford to
Titus Young that trimmed Green Bay’s lead to 16. They scored a meaningless TD on Stafford’s 3-yard pass to Calvin Johnson with 11 seconds left.
Detroit had raised expectations for a competitive and entertaining game during its annual showcase after losing the last seven games by threeplus
TDs on average.
The Lions kept it close early -- in a punt-and penalty-filled first half -- then simply couldn’t keep up with Rodgers’ passing attack and failed to
stay disciplined.
Rodgers doesn’t need any help, but he did get an assist when Detroit lost three defensive backs to injuries, leaving the Lions with receiver Rashied
Davis in the secondary.
Rodgers was 22 of 32 for 307 yards. He threw a 3-yard TD pass to Greg Jennings with 4:51 left in the first half for the first score of the game and
a 65-yard pass to James Jones in the third for a 21-0 lead.
Stafford was 32 of 45 for 276 yards. He was picked off by Woodson, Clay Matthews and Rob Francois.
Green Bay’s winning streak, including its run in the 2010 playoffs, equals the streak the Oakland Raiders had during the 1976-77 seasons.
