In a crucial NFC North matchup, Jordan Love led the Green Bay Packers to a 31-24 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday. The win marks the second time this season the Packers have swept the season series, giving them a potential tiebreaker in the division. Love's performance was nothing short of spectacular, as he matched his career high with four touchdown passes. The two-time defending division champion Lions, meanwhile, suffered their third loss in five games and fell further out of the playoff picture. Love's impressive display began in the first half, where he converted two fourth-down passes into touchdowns. He continued to shine in the second half, throwing a 51-yard touchdown pass to Christian Watson to give the Packers a commanding 24-14 lead. The Lions fought back, but ultimately fell short due to a series of costly mistakes, including a dropped pass by Jameson Williams on fourth down. The Packers' defense also played a crucial role in the win, with Micah Parsons recording 2.5 sacks. Jared Goff led the Lions' offense, throwing for 256 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Packers' determined effort. The win moves the Packers into second place in the NFC North, behind the Chicago Bears, who play the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. In other injury news, Packers DT Devonte Wyatt was carted off the field late in the game, while Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown left the game in the first quarter with an ankle injury. The Packers will host the Chicago Bears on December 7, while the Lions will welcome the Dallas Cowboys on December 4.
