Lions Edge Packers 20-17 on Late Field Goal After Williams Scores Twice

Detroit beat Green Bay 20-17 on Jake Bates’s late field goal, with Jameson Williams scoring twice and Brian Branch making an interception in his return from injury. Detroit’s defense also forced fumbles on consecutive Packers drives, while Green Bay kicker Trey Smack missed two field goals. The game featured several contentious calls: one report criticized a roughing-the-passer penalty against Green Bay and cited other disputed flags, while Detroit also stopped a Packers fourth-down pass in the red zone. Detroit coach Dan Campbell’s risky fourth-down decision near his own goal line failed, but the Lions held on for the win.
