Lions Defeat Packers 24-14, Lead NFC North

In a pivotal NFC North matchup, the Detroit Lions defeated the Green Bay Packers 24-14, marking their best start since 1956 with a 7-1 record. Safety Kerby Joseph was instrumental in the victory, recording an interception return for a touchdown just before halftime, bringing his season total to six interceptions, tied for the NFL lead. Despite some struggles, Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who played through a groin injury, was intercepted by Joseph, which shifted the game's momentum and quieted the Lambeau crowd. The Lions capitalized on two fourth-down conversions that resulted in touchdowns, solidifying their control over the game. The Lions' defense, while allowing more total yards, effectively limited the Packers' scoring opportunities, forcing them to settle for field goals in the red zone. This win continues Detroit's success in Green Bay, where they have now won their last three road games against the Packers.
