That was the second ejection of the season for the rookie first-round pick, who also got tossed from a loss at Buffalo for shoving Bills practice-squad tight end Zach Davidson.ĭetroit’s Michael Badgley made a field goal to close the first half after a personal foul on Green Bay’s Rasul Douglas turned what would have been a 48-yard attempt into a 33-yarder. Linebacker Quay Walker was ejected during the Lions’ go-ahead drive after pushing Lions team physician Sean Lynch, who was attending to an injured Detroit player. Playing to extend their season, the Packers frequently lost their composure. "But, hey, if you’ve got to go down on that one, if it’s the last one of for the season, man, what better way to go out than that for 2022.” “The hard part of this is that it’s over for this season, because it is a special group,” Campbell said. The Lions rebounded from a 1-6 start by winning eight of their last 10 games. Goff also had connected with Chark for a first down on fourth-and-2 during the Lions’ go-ahead drive. Facing fourth-and-1 from the Green Bay 15, the Lions passed up a field-goal attempt and got a clinching first down on Jared Goff’s 9-yard pass to DJ Chark.
GREEN BAY PACKERS NEXT GAME SERIES
Green Bay only got as far as its own 33 on its next series before Joseph picked off Rodgers' deep throw on third-and-10 with 3 1/2 minutes left.ĭetroit held onto the ball for the remainder of the game. Williams had 17 touchdown runs to break the Lions’ single-season record that Barry Sanders had set in 1991. Jamaal Williams’ second 1-yard touchdown run of the night against his former team put the Lions (9-8) ahead with 5:55 remaining. But the competitive fire is always going to be there. Is it time? Also, what’s the organization doing? That’s part of it as well. “And that’s what needs to be contemplated. “At some point the carousel comes to a stop and it’s time to get off, and I think you kind of know when that is,” Rodgers said. Rodgers went 17 of 27 for 205 yards with one touchdown and became the eighth NFL player to have at least 5,000 career completions.Īfter the final seconds ticked off the clock, Rodgers walked off the field, gazing into the stands, side by side with Randall Cobb, perhaps soaking up the sights and sounds. The Packers (8-9) missed the playoffs for the first time in Matt LaFleur's four seasons as coach. Seattle (9-8) instead earned the NFC’s last playoff spot and will play Saturday at San Francisco (13-4). So our guys were locked in, they were unaffected by that, because we knew what the objective was." We knew the only way to do that is to win. “We knew what we were coming in here for, and it was to gain some respect and show what we’re capable of no matter what happened. “Basically we found out in pregame warmup or coming off, and I’m telling you, we were unfazed,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. But they fell short against the Lions, who had been eliminated from the playoffs earlier Sunday when the Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Rams 19-16 in overtime. It’s just a little bit after the game, so I want to take the emotion out of it and have the conversation and see where the organization’s at and see how I feel after some time has passed," Rodgers said.Īfter winning four straight games and receiving plenty of help from other teams, the Packers had control of their postseason fate heading into the final game of the NFL regular season. Rodgers was intercepted by Kerby Joseph on what might have been the final pass of the future Hall of Famer's career, and Green Bay lost 20-16 to the Detroit Lions on Sunday night in a game the Packers needed to win to reach the playoffs.Īlthough he is under contract for next season, the 39-year-old Rodgers has said he doesn’t know whether he will continue playing. The four-time MVP and the Green Bay Packers won't be participating in the playoffs.
