Live ticker Detroit Lions – Green Bay Packers (NFL 2023/2024, Week 12)

8:03 p.m

End of 2nd quarter

It goes into halftime with a quite surprising result. Green Bay literally overran the favorites in the first quarter, benefiting from many mistakes and quickly gaining a clear lead. The game cooled down noticeably in the second quarter because the Packers were unable to extend their lead with some unfortunate decisions and Detroit continued to lack a lot offensively. The Lions can still come back, but they need a huge improvement in their performance after the break. See you soon!

20:02

Field goal missed!

It’s going to be wild again. The Packers get to the halfway line with one play and let their kicker kick a 63-yard field goal. That falls short and the host even carries the ball back over half the pitch. But it’s not enough for more and we take a break.

19:57

Goff not accurate at all

Quarterback Goff isn’t playing his best game. He’s always under pressure, but the balls flutter through the air quite a bit. In addition, there are always serious misunderstandings between him and his receivers. Since the offensive also picked up stupid penalties, the first whistles came from the stands.

19:52

Do the Lions still have a chance?

The Lions’ defense held firm shortly before halftime, giving Goff 41 seconds to conjure something up.

7:50 p.m

The Packers defense forces the next turnover!

Green Bay stays aggressive! Detroit goes on the fourth attempt, Goff is again interfered with the pass and loses the leather. The Packers throw themselves at the ball, but it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. So the Lions might give away three relatively safe points here.

19:46

It remains tough for the host

Shortly afterwards, Goff simply throws the leather out of bounds against the pressure and the referees give him a penalty because there was no teammate nearby. The offense can no longer bridge the 21 yards.

19:41

Lucky for Detroit

Actually, the Lions’ next drive was already over, but LaPorta was apparently illegally obstructed by the opponent on the right and so Goff gets five yards and new attempts.

7:39 p.m

Field goal by A. Carlson (Packers) to make it 23:6

Different Carlson

At least the host can limit the opponent to three points here, but is certainly lucky that the decisive pass was overlooked by a defensive hold or allowed to continue. So Green Bay has to settle for a field goal.

7:38 p.m

Packers again just before the red zone

The Lions still have little access to the opponent. Love now has 175 yards and distributes the ball well.

7:36 p.m

Dillon like a gazelle!

AJ Dillon makes the defense look really old. He easily skips the first tackle and then continues to fuel himself.

7:25 p.m

Where is Amon-Ra St. Brown?

There hasn’t been much to see of German receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown yet. The Packers are taking their most successful pass receiver out of the game so far. Here he can grab for six yards. Shortly afterwards, things get tricky again for Goff because he throws over his tight end and behind him the Packers narrowly miss the interception. Either way, the drive is over and the punter comes onto the field.

19:23

Montgomery alone

The Lions are now trying very aggressively to establish the running game. That makes sense because on paper you face a weaker defense against the run. Montgomery is currently doing everything, first single-handedly ensuring new attempts and then gaining nine yards of space again.

7:20 p.m

Packers’ first mistake!

Yes, the Packers go through the fourth attempt and then things get bitter. Because when they try to hand the ball over, Love and his running back Dillon rush together and thus waste any chance of scoring points on this drive. The Lions are celebrating and can now perhaps use this success to turn things around.

7:18 p.m

Start of 2nd quarter

The ball is back in play. We continue with the second quarter.

7:18 p.m

End of 1st quarter

The Lions are once again experiencing a pitch-black day on Thanksgiving and have so far lost to the Packers. At first the defense didn’t really know how to defend itself and then mistakes on the offensive contributed to the significant deficit. At the moment it smells like points for Green Bay again.

7:15 p.m

Just before the quarter break there was a time out

The Packers don’t get far in two attempts and take a timeout just before the quarter break because they want to avoid a penalty for delay of game. After that there isn’t quite enough for new attempts, so it will be interesting to see whether Green Bay will risk a fourth attempt right after the short break.

19:13

Packers with four touchdowns in the quarter?

Will the Packers actually get their fourth touchdown in the first quarter? But well, you start consistently in the red zone. The Lions are serving up one gift at a time this Thanksgiving.

7:10 p.m

Lions completely out of character

Gibbs gained six yards on the ground in his first attempt, but after that there was no communication between the running back and his quarterback and the pass sailed well past the target. And then shock again at Ford Field! Goff doesn’t find a taker on the third attempt, wants to get the first down himself, but loses the ball against the tackle because he doesn’t secure the play equipment sufficiently. Turnover!

7:09 p.m

Detroit can make comebacks, but should wake up!

They have already proven this year that Detroit definitely has comeback qualities. The hole only slowly becomes quite large and they then have to dig themselves out of it again. The punt return also ends at the 15-yard line. Green Bay is on top!

7:08 p.m

Missed extra point!

Different Carlson

What’s wrong with the kickers? Carlson also misses the extra point from close range!

7:07 p.m

Touchdown by J. Owens (Packers) to make it 20:6

Jonathan Owens
Now the Lions have the salad! Jonathan Owens picked up the ball and was then unstoppable.

7:04 p.m

Green Bay touchdown?

Running back Gibbs does the next few yards, but a penalty immediately throws the home team back five yards. And then it becomes very quiet in the stadium because Goff is caught by the defense and loses the ball while passing. Was the arm already in forward motion and therefore a failed pass, or was it a fumble? The referees look at it and the result will decide a touchdown. Because the defense had carried the ball back into the Lions’ end zone.

19:02

No pressure on Green Bay

What is particularly striking is that the Lions cannot put any pressure on their opponents at all. Love has an incredible amount of time and can use it as he pleases. Now Goff is a little challenged with his offense. On the first play, the quarterback doesn’t find a taker and is forced to go for a few yards himself.

6:59 p.m

Extra point by A. Carlson (Packers) to make it 14:6

Different Carlson

A. Carlson’s extra point attempt is good!

6:59 p.m

Touchdown by T. Kraft (Packers) to make it 13:6

Tucker Kraft
The tight end on the other side also grabs it! Tucker Kraft is free on the right, Love lifts the leather over the line of scrimmage and behind it the path is clear for Kraft. Once again, the Lions’ defense seems completely overwhelmed.

18:53

Love without love for the opponent!

What’s going on with this Jordan Love today? Earlier he had to briefly move out of the pocket on the left and throw the leather away, but otherwise his passports arrive as reliably as the taxes to the state. I just had a third attempt, and that wasn’t a problem either. Otherwise, you usually don’t even need two attempts for a new first down.

6:49 p.m

Missed extra point!

Riley Patterson

Ohh! Kicker Patterson hadn’t awarded an extra point this season, but it clearly flies past the bars to the right.

6:48 p.m

Touchdown by S. LaPorta (Lions) to make it 7:6

Sam LaPorta
Nobody seems to really want to bother with defense here! Two passes later, the Lions also have their first touchdown on the scoreboard! First Sam LaPorta is completely blank on the left and catches the ball in the red zone and shortly afterwards the tight end is accompanied on the way into the end zone and catches Goff’s accurate pass without any problems.

18:43

Goff on the rise

The Lions also made up a lot of ground on their first drive. Montgomery mimics the bulldozer and Goff hits his receivers. On the right side, according to the referees, receiver Gibbs is illegally prevented from attempting to catch and you are already over the center line.

18:42

Packers exclamation point

That was an announcement from Green Bay that shows that they have something planned for today. And Detroit had better find their focus quickly defensively. Because it was way too easy for the clear underdog.

6:40 p.m

Extra point by A. Carlson (Packers) to make it 7:0

Different Carlson

A. Carlson’s extra point attempt is good!

6:39 p.m

Touchdown by J. Reed (Packers) to make it 6-0

Jayden Reed
And then, consequently, it didn’t take long to get the first points because the Packers basically landed in the red zone with one play. But that was also brave and absolutely unerring on the part of Love. Because he hits Jayden Reed in a very short window, who is pretty much covered up and uses pure strength to fuel the remaining yards.

6:37 p.m

How is this going on here?

Yes, and how he can tie in! The first move of the game goes deep towards Watson. He climbs up against two defenses and catches the long bomb safely. What a start!

6:35 p.m

Game start

Kickoff in the game between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions. The game is running.

18:32

Pakcers offensive starts

Jordan Love comes onto the field first with his offense. Last week he set a season-high 322 yards. Can the youngster catch on?

6:20 p.m

It starts in a few minutes

The national anthem is currently echoing through the arena with a lot of fervor. After that it should start straight away. We are looking forward to it!

18:13

German participation thanks to Amon-Ra St. Brown

On the other hand, Amon-Ra St. Brown is having an absolute bomb season. The German-American is by far the most popular target of his quarterbacks. The receiver doesn’t necessarily always stand out with spectacular plays, but with an average of 100 yards per game, he is the personification of consistency and is largely responsible for the fact that Detroit’s unpredictable offense is one of the best in the league. The host knows how to impress on the ground and in the air and is also uncompromising defensively. Green Bay therefore arrives as a clear outsider.

6:09 p.m

Packers with tailwind

And the opponent? He definitely comes to Ford Field with a bit of a tailwind. Because Green Bay was able to win two of the last three games and thus still retained outside chances of making the playoffs. Realistically, there is nothing left for quarterback Jordan Love’s team. The youngster is making a real effort and playing a decent season, but in the end he makes too many mistakes and is therefore in the bottom third of the league’s starting quarterbacks. Maybe the guests can draw a little motivation today from the fact that they have been without success in four games against the Lions.

6:05 p.m

Lions Against the Thanksgiving Curse

The Detroit Lions could actually go into today’s duel with the Packers full of self-confidence. In principle, they sit above the NFC North without a care in the world, have become a real insider tip and have already clearly beaten their current opponents this season. But despite its great tradition (the first game was played on Thanksgiving in 1934), people haven’t really grown fond of the holiday in recent years. The last victory of today’s hosts was seven years ago.
