Lions beat Packers 20-17 on last-play field goal to bail out Dan Campbell’s failed 4th-down gamble
DETROIT -- Dan Campbell's latest gamble did not pan out and the Detroit Lions made plays in all three phases -- with some yellow flags that went their way -- to bail out the aggressive coach. Detroit Lions defeated the Green Bay Packers 20-17 on a last-play field goal by Jake Bates, who made a 22-yard field goal as time expired to secure a win over the Packers. Coach Dan Campbell made a risky decision to gamble on fourth-and-1 from his 24 with under 5 minutes to play, but the Lions made several key plays to bail out Campbell, including a successful fourth-down gamble on a potential touchdown run by Jahmyr Gibbs and a penalty for being offside on third-and/5. The Lions have now won two consecutive games, putting them in third place in the NFC North behind Minnesota (6-0) and Chicago (5-2). The Packers' three-game winning streak was halted and dropped to last place in their division.
