The Green Bay Packers managed to eke out a 16-13 overtime win against the Detroit Lions, to improve their record to 3-10 and drop the Lions to 4-9 on the season. Neither team is going anywhere after the regular season, so this was just for pride anyway.

There was a bizarre play in the fourth quarter. Packer running back Sam Gado was about to be tackled in the end zone for a safety, when he appeared to fumble the ball forward and a Packer recovered. A Packer lineman was also flagged for holding on the play (you think they might have managed to get out of the end zone with a hold, but no). The holding was ruled to have happened outside the end zone (this is questionable) and so the holding could not result in a safety. As for what Gado did with the ball, it ended up being ruled an incomplete forward pass although I highly doubt that Gado was intended to throw the ball on that play. So the Packers kept possession of the ball and avoided a safety that would have put the Lions ahead 15-13.

Brett Favre continues to struggle with a receiving corps that really, totally just plain sucks. These guys can't seem to get open to save their lives, especially downfield. The result is that Brett has to throw short passes and opposing defenses are able to lock down on the short routes.

The Packer defense has been a pleasant surprise this season and they once again did a good job, including stopping the Lions just short of the goal line on a fourth down try in the final quarter. They are still not a great defense, but they are getting better all the time and have kept the Packers in many games this season when the injury riddled offense has struggled.

Kick returner Antonio Chatman really needs to be replaced. The guy tries his best, but just has not done much in his time with the Packers and they need to get someone who can make more of a difference here.

A head coaching change may also be in order.
