It started out ugly but the Green Bay Packers pulled out yet another early victory and swept the season series against the Detroit Lions with a 27-20 victory at Lambeau Field.

If the running game can continue to grow, then Rodgers will go from being deadly to unstoppable. A solid Packers rushing attack is the last thing many opponents want to see.
