Aaron Rodgers could only watch from the sideline.

GREEN BAY Shareef Miller Jersey , Wis. (AP)Matthew Stafford put on a quarterback clinic for the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field. Stafford passed for 361 yards and two touchdowns to Marvin Jones, and the Lions snapped a three-game losing streak with a 30-17 win on Monday night over the offensively challenged Green Bay Packers.Article continues below ... ”Matt (made) some great throws … I just did what I love to do –go out there and get them,” Jones said. Stafford was 26 of 33, including 12 of 14 in the first half with a 25-yard touchdown pass to Jones. Ameer Abdullah added a 4-yard touchdown run for Detroit (4-4). Green Bay (4-4) finally got in the end zone on Brett Hundley’s 1-yard quarterback sneak with 9:52 left. The Lions answered with Stafford’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Jones with 8:06 remaining, putting the game out of reach with a 17-point lead. Jones had seven catches for 107 yards. The Packers have lost three straight games. Their once-potent offense has struggled since Rodgers broke his right collarbone on Oct. 15 at Minnesota. Hundley finished 26 of 38 for 245 yards. Cornerback Darius Slay blanketed Jordy Nelson when the Packers did try to throw long while the game was still competitive. ”With this one obviously it doesn’t get a whole lot better than this. We played well,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said. Abdullah fumbled the ball away in the third quarter, but the Packers went three-and-out on the ensuing drive. Familiar problems in the red zone popped up for the Lions when they were stopped on three plays at the Packers 1, forced to settle for a field goal for a 17-point lead with 12:25 left. But without Rodgers, the Packers couldn’t keep up with the accurate http://www.eaglesfootballauthentics.com/zach-brown-jersey-authentic , rocket-armed Stafford. ”I believe in Brett, that’s not just a press conference statement,” coach Mike McCarthy said about Hundley. THIRD DOWNS The Lions were 8 of 13 on third-down conversions, with Stafford burning the Packers with clutch throws. The Packers were just 2 of 9 on third downs and failed to convert both of their fourth-down chances. ”They controlled the third-down battle tonight,” McCarthy said. ”We have work to do. That’s the fact of the matter and we have to do it fast.” CRITICAL PENALTY The Lions’ opening score was set up by an unnecessary roughness penalty on Mike Daniels, after the defensive lineman appeared to head-butt Detroit center Travis Swanson. The flag negated an incompletion on third-and-15 that would have forced the Lions to punt from their own 25. Stafford connected with Jones for the touchdown pass five plays later. MILESTONE The first scoring strike to Jones was the 200th touchdown pass in 117 career games for Stafford, the sixth-quickest in NFL history to reach the milestone. Stafford, who turns 30 in February, is also fourth in NFL history for career touchdown passes before age 30 behind Dan Marino http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-isaiah-johnson-jersey , Peyton Manning and Brett Favre. NOT SPECIAL Special teams didn’t help the Packers. Working in their third long snapper of the season because of injuries, Green Bay had a 38-yard field goal blocked in the first quarter on a play that started with a low snap. Trevor Davis didn’t get past the 22 on three kickoff returns in the first half. STAT LINES: Lions: WR Golden Tate joined Jones over the 100-yard mark with seven receptions for 113 yards. … Abdullah had 21 carries for 48 yards. Packers: The team’s playmaking receivers did have more opportunities, though most came on short passes. Randall Cobb finished with 58 yards on five receptions, including a catch-and-run for a 46-yard gain that set up Hundley’s TD run. Davante Adams had seven catches for 53 yards. ”This game they were giving us the underneath stuff,” Hundley said. ”You have to take what’s given.” INJURIES Packers S Morgan Burnett left in the third quarter with a groin injury. He had returned from a two-game absence for a hamstring injury. RT Bryan Bulaga left in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. ANTHEM It appeared that all members of both teams stood for the national anthem, with many players and coaches locking arms on their respective sidelines. UP NEXT Lions: Host the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Packers: Visit the Chicago Bears on Sunday. — MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Detroit Lions were at a disadvantage, playing in a deafening stadium against a daunting Minnesota defense that’s rounding into form at midseason.The departure of their leading pass-catcher in a trade earlier in the week left the Lions with one less way to attack the Vikings, but the absence of Golden Tate became an afterthought while the team struggled to protect its quarterback. Matthew Stafford was culpable, too Devin Bush Jersey , often hanging onto the ball too long.Danielle Hunter had 3 1/2 of Minnesota’s franchise-record 10 sacks plus a fourth-quarter fumble return for a touchdown , making for a miserable afternoon for Stafford and the Lions in a 24-9 victory by the Vikings on Sunday.“That’s a very, very, very, very talented front,” left guard Frank Ragnow said. “Dudes on every single position. So credit to them, but it’s all on us. I think we all know we need to play better than that.”Hunter also was credited with nine tackles and four hits on Stafford as the Vikings (5-3-1) limited the Lions to a season-low 214 total yards and stopped their streak of 14-plus points at 25 straight games. The last time the Lions scored in single digits was a 17-6 loss to the New York Giants on Dec. 18, 2016.The Lions assembled only two drives that netted more than 30 yards. Tate was certainly missed — the Lions went just 4 for 15 on third down — but the Vikings dominated this game on the line of scrimmage.“You’re going to play some teams that are going to have some really elite rushers and who are really elite players,” left tackle Taylor Decker said. “We know in our division http://www.steelersfootballauthentics.com/diontae-johnson-jersey-authentic , we’re going to get that every week. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but we have to play better.”The previous high sack total of Stafford’s 10-year career was seven, against the Vikings in 2015. He has been sacked five times or more on 15 different occasions, six of those by the Vikings. The Lions are 3-12 in those games.“We need to learn how to be consistent all the way across the board with everything we do,” coach Matt Patricia said. “There have been some weeks we have been consistent from the start of the week through the games, and some weeks haven’t been consistent. Things change on gameday pretty quick depending on the opponent and what they’re doing, and being able to handle some of those changes affects that.”The Vikings effectively mixed in blitzes to keep the Lions off balance, but nine of the 10 sacks were registered by their defensive linemen. Three of them came inside Minnesota’s 20, over two different possessions that ended with a field goal by Matt Prater.Defensive tackles Sheldon Richardson and Tom Johnson switched places on a perfectly executed stunt that ended with them sharing a sack of Stafford on third-and-goal from the 8 early in the second quarter. Everson Griffen pushed Decker back toward Stafford Justin Layne Jersey , too, in a complete collapse of the pocket.“If we go into the red zone and we score touchdowns there, then the score of the game would’ve been a lot different,” Stafford said. “We’ve got to get better.”
