Detroit Lions 34, Green Bay Packers 20

Jordan Loveand the Packers offense were almost entirely absent in the first half and produced just 20 yards of total offense but showed signs of life in the second half.
With star offensive playersAaron JonesandChristian Watsonseemingly being eased back into action, Love leaned heavily on second-year wide receiverRomeo Doubs,who caught nine of his 13 targets for 95 yards. Unfortunately, the hole Love and the Packers dug themselves in the first half was too deep to climb out of.
