Lions beat Packers 20-17 on last-play field goal to bail out Dan Campbell’s failed 4th-down gamble
DETROIT (AP) — 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. Jake Bates made a 22-yard field goal as time expired to give Detroit a 20-17 win over the […] Detroit Lions defeated the Green Bay Packers 20-17 on a last-play field goal from Jake Bates to secure a win over the Packers. The Lions' aggressive coach, Dan Campbell, made a risky decision to go for it on fourth-and-1 from his 24 with under 5 minutes to play and failed to capitalize on this. Other key moments included a missed field goal by rookie Trey Smack and a missed 35-yard field goal in the first half by D.J. Wonnum. The win puts Detroit in third place in the NFC North behind Minnesota (6-0) and Chicago. The Packers' three-game winning streak was stopped and dropped to last place in a highly competitive NFC North. Starting Sean Rhyan (I'm not) expected to play on Thursday night against Carolina.
