Lions vs. packers halftime:
If you're the Lions, you have to wonder where this type of effort was last week against Cincinnati, when Detroit's season was still on the line and there was something to play for other than pride. Detroit dominated Green Bay in every phase in the first half against a Packers team that was undermanned with multiple starters inactive. Even so, the Lions played with much more urgency in a game that matters little versus one that mattered for pretty much everything in their season. Detroit showed creative play-calling on offense and pressure on defense -- things that have been problematic throughout the year.

Ezekiel Ansah hits double-digit sacks for the second time in his career. He did it for the first time in 2015 when he made the Pro Bowl. Ansah, a pending free agent after the season, could be playing his last game with the Lions. He's been hurt almost the entire season but played through most games.

Matthew Stafford tied former San Francisco 49ers quarterback John Brodie for No. 32 in all-time passing touchdowns on the pass to Kenny Golladay. He now has 214 in his career. Stafford won't get higher than that this year on the all-time list as next up is Jay Cutler, with 227 touchdown passes entering Sunday.

Marvin Jones TD catch on the red zone fade route. With a reduced split (bottom of the numbers), Jones had a lot of room to work on the fade. That puts the Lions WR at 59 yards and a score on two receptions.
