Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers: 4th quarter running diary

Found January 01, 2012 on The Wayne Fontes Experience:
PLAYERS: Willie Young
TEAMS: Detroit Lions,  Green Bay Packers

Lions will start from their 38. NEED MOAR POINTZ. Crossing pattern to Megatron, runs over a couple of Packers, out of bounds at the Packers' 38! Man amongst boys. He's over 200 yards on the day...Stafford now over 400. 3rd and 3 from the 31...UGH, Burlson falls on the cut again. Someone get Burleson some longer spikes, please? Lions going for it...Pass to Pettigrew is no good. But this was just plain dirty by the Packer DB's... But the Lions are the dirty team, right? FYI, Stafford is 72 yards shy of 5000 yards passing on the season. **** the Pro Bowl. Packers get a 1st down on 3rd and 4, Lions offsides. **** us all. Packers face 2nd and 5...SACK! FLAG! Holding on the Lions. Levy, GODDAMIIT. 1st down. Swing pass gets 11, Packers driving at the Lions' 38. TO Packers with 9:27 left. It's 4:05 eastern time.

Does Flynn's big day impact Rodgers?

Via Fox Sports  |  January 01, 2012
