DETROIT — The quarterback is the one that sets the table for the offense, and on Thanksgiving Jordan Love served up one heck of a feast.<\/p>\n
Love threw for 234 yards and 4 touchdowns as he and the Green Bay Packers beat the Detroit Lions, 31-24, to keep pace with the Chicago Bears in the fight for the NFC North crown.<\/p>\n
Dontayvion Wicks had one of the best games of his career for Green Bay, hauling in 6 catches for 94 yards and 2 touchdowns. Christian Watson had 80 yards on 2 catches, including a tone-setting 51-yard touchdown catch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Lions suffered a tough blow early in the game as star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was forced out of the game with an injury. Jameson Williams stepped up in his place, however, with 7 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n
While Love brought the sauce on offense, Micah Parsons was gobbling up Lions on defense. He tallied 3 TFLs and 2.5 sacks. Isaiah McDuffie also added 2 TFLs.<\/p>\n
Green Bay’s defense limited Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs to 68 yards on 20 carries.<\/p>\n
Head coach Matt LaFleur was rewarded for being aggressive. The Packers went 3-3 on fourth downs, including a pass from Love to Wicks on the last true play of the game.<\/p>\n
The Packers will now get set for a matchup that could decide the division. The Bears come to Lambeau Field on Dec. 7, with kickoff set for 3:25 p.m.<\/p>\n
