Packers turn a corner ?


Why be a fan of the Packers ?  Especially in a rebuild year ?  Because of a game like this one.  They were underdogs, on the road, short week, Thanksgiving at the Lions, a national TV game, playing a team built for the indoors.  This a game you remember.

Packers 29, Lions 22


I'm thinking of many memorable road game wins and one home loss:

1) Ty Montgomery rushes for 162 yards at Soldier Field, Packers 30, Bears 27, December 18, 2016

2) Aaron Rodgers comes back in 2nd half (with a broken leg) to  throw 3 TDs 2nd half, Sunday night at Soldier Field, Packers 24, Bears 23, September 9, 2018

3) Pat McCaffee does color commentary on his one and only NFL TV game, Packers humiliated by the Lions at Lambeau: 31 to 0, December 30, 2018

Well now add another memorable road win:

And I think that this play:




was very telling, Jordan Love, 10, is smart to slide even though he could have run into field goal range.  He didn't stop the clock, he didn't get tackled/injured, he didn't pull a hamstring - he knows when to quit !   I think he may be the smartest of the last 3 Packers QBs.
