Sports: Lions Win in Green Bay

Lions

The Lions are celebrating their first win at Lambeau Field since 1991. Detroit beat Green Bay, 18-16. The Lions had to hold on for dear life to beat the Packers on Sunday.  Matt Prater missed two extra points to keep Green Bay in it. Jason Perillo's 11-yard TD catch with 32 seconds left got the Pack within two. But the two-point conversion was broken up by Crezdon Butler who just signed on Saturday. All the Lions had to do to seal the win was recover the ensuing on-side kick, but Calvin Johnson muffed it and the Pack still had a life and marched downfield with seconds left.  Mason Crosby missed a 52-yard field goal on the final play. The Lions are now 2-and-7, while the Packers fell to 6-and-3 and lost first place in the division to the Vikings. The Packers play them next week.

Detroit hosts Oakland this Sunday.

Lions Lose Mathis for Season

The Lions will play the rest of the way without cornerback Rashean Mathis. He's on injured reserve with a concussion he sustained in Week Seven against the Vikings. Mathis initially passed the concussion protocol before being diagnosed a week later. Crezdon Butler was signed to take his spot.

Packers Moment of Silence…not

The Green Bay Packers had a moment of silence for the victims of the Paris attacks yesterday, and instead of being silent, a few fans yelled inappropriate comments. Aaron Rodgers called out the fan who yelled "Muslims suck!" in his post-game interview after they played the Detroit Lions yesterday. He said it's important to have a moment of silence, but he's disappointed in the fan who yelled out the inappropriate comment. It also happened at other games Sunday in the NFL.
