Lions safety Walker goes off on referees after loss
Detroit safety Tracy Walker said he wasn't even trying to make contact with Packers receiver Geronimo Allison and was going for a potential interception of an Aaron Rodgers pass.
Lions can't get over the hump as Aaron Rodgers rips their heart out again
In a game that could have propped up the Lions' playoff hopes, Detroit flustered Rodgers at times. But the QB's game-winning heroics felt inevitable.
Packers pull off last-second win over Lions (1:50)
Patricia: 'We know how detrimental these penalties are' (0:44)
Booger: Lions will feel like the officials gave the game away (0:37)
Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer
Lions safety Tavon Wilson was moving fine after the game. Said he got hit with a helmet and that he was lucky — and that he's fine. It'll be worth monitoring on a short week but that's good news for Detroit.
Packers get the calls, Crosby hits late FG to beat Lions
Mason Crosby nailed a 23-yard field goal as time expired, and the Green Bay Packers benefited from some questionable officiating to edge the Detroit Lions 23-22 on Monday night.
Crosby hits game-winning FG as time expires (0:24)
Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer
The Lions — man they were close. But with how this Detroit team has looked this season, close can no longer be considered enough. This team has shown they can play with some of the NFL's best but until they can win a game like this (questionable calls or not) they can't be considered as a truly contending team.
Lazard reels in unbelievable catch for Packers' TD (0:43)
Rodgers' pass goes off Shepherd's helmet, Lions intercept it (0:51)
Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer
Detroit may lead Green Bay, 13-10, at halftime but the Lions sure looked sloppy doing it after a strong, aggressive offensive start. Special teams blunders (kicking a kickoff out of bounds and then having 12 men on the field during a Packers' FG attempt, resulting in a Green Bay first down and then touchdown) were a major theme. Plus, Detroit continues to be run on easily -- the Packers already have 101 yards rushing, the fifth game this season Detroit has allowed 100 yards rushing this year.
Williams stiff-arms defender on way to TD (0:42)
Stafford family grows stronger through medical scare (5:56)
Lions open up game with 66-yard flea-flicker (0:34)
Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer
Matt Patricia and Darrell Bevell are being aggressive to start tonight. Flea flicker to open the game. Another deep pass to open the second drive off play action. Then going for it on 4th-and-1 at the goal-line to secure a touchdown. At least early on, the Lions seem to be feeding off of it as well.
Johnson pushes through for Lions TD (1:16)
Kelly Stafford's recovery from brain tumor: 'My biggest fear is not being here'
Kelly, married to Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford and the mother of three daughters, tells the story of her experience and ongoing recovery.
Safety Diggs (hamstring) sits out Lions' loss
Lions safety Quandre Diggs sat out Detroit's 23-22 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football.
Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer
Lions inactives: Quandre Diggs, David Blough, Da'Shawn Hand, Mike Daniels, Amani Oruwariye, Oday Aboushi, Beau Benschawel.

Lions LB Jahlani Tavai, playing in his first-ever really cold weather game, was messing around with rugby tosses during warmups. The Hawaii product was an accomplished rugby player as a youth. He's going to be critical for a Detroit tonight against Green Bay.
Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer
Lions GM Bob Quinn walking the field prior to Lions-Packers Monday Night Football game at Lambeau Field on Monday. Quinn has won two of three games at Lambeau as GM.
Michael Rothstein ESPN Staff Writer
Lions signed DT John Atkins to the roster, waived WR Tom Kennedy. With Da'Shawn Hand and Mike Daniels out and A'Shawn Robinson dealing with injury, it makes sense for it to happen.
Against Packers, Lions can lean on Matt Patricia's success against top offenses
The wins haven't always been there, but Patricia has devised schemes to slow the Rams and Chiefs and it will help on Monday night against Green Bay.
