Green Bay Packers Defeat Detroit Lions 27-13 In Season Opener

The Detroit Lions started their 2025 NFL season with a disappointing 27-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, showcasing struggles on both offense and defense. The Lions, who were last season's NFC North champions and led the league in scoring, were held scoreless in the red zone until the final minute and failed to record a single sack, while new defensive addition Micah Parsons made an immediate impact for the Packers with multiple pressures and a sack. Packers quarterback Jordan Love efficiently threw two touchdown passes, leading Green Bay to an early 17-3 halftime lead and maintaining control throughout the game. The Lions' offensive line and new play-callers appeared out of sync, with quarterback Jared Goff acknowledging the need for urgent improvement. Detroit will look to rebound in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears, while Green Bay faces the Washington Commanders. The loss places the Lions at the bottom of the NFC North standings alongside the upcoming loser of the Bears-Vikings game.
