What happened

I.McDuffie's third-quarter fumble recovery and a J.Love-to-J.Jacobs 25-yard touchdown had this one set up to swing Green Bay's way, and then the K.Brooks roughing-the-passer flag on a S.LaPorta catch handed Detroit the field it needed for J.Bates's walk-off 22-yarder. The refs will wear it in the group chats all week, but the deeper problem is a Packers team that keeps finding ways to lose three-point games it should own.

What fans said

  • “Matt LaFleur seriously just needs to eat the fine and rip the officials after the game, because this is honestly just terrible.”

  • “any win over the Green Bay Packers is a BEAUTIFUL WIN.”

  • “Smack lost us the game. Then the refs lost us the game. Then Jacobs lost us the game. If you aren't in competition for the division at the end of the season, this game is why. Just a joke.”

    u/SocksandSmocks▲ 644frustration

  • “The thing that makes you mad is that this is a 20-17 division game and there was no point watching it because everything got handed to the Lions AND we continually fucked our own face on top of it.”

    u/paak-maan▲ 378frustration

  • “Well, that was a game of absolute bullshit shenanigans. I fucking hate when people blame the refs, but that was absolutely a fucking ref ball game.”

    u/BathtubBobby▲ 267rage

  • “Vikings are frauds and probably the worst 6-0 team I’ve watched.”

  • The #Packers got the ball at the Lions 22 yard line with 4:50 on the clock and scored zero points on that drive

I don't

    The #Packers got the ball at the Lions 22 yard line with 4:50 on the clock and scored zero points on that drive I don't care how bad the refs were, that is completely unacceptable Every year we see this team lose games in ways we never thought possible

  • We need to see actual legal action for rigged games like this. This wasn't just bad calls, it goes beyond that.
