DETROIT (AP) Jordan Love dropped back and on his first snap, taking advantage of what the Green Bay Packers thought the Detroit Lions defense would give them.They were right.Love set the tone with a 53-yard pa s to Christian Watson on the game's first play and finished with a career-high-tying three touchdowns, leading to a 29-22 win over the NFC North-leading Rick Barry Jersey on Thursday.It was something we put in this week that we thought was going to work, said Love, who had to rea sure coach Matt LaFleur to stick with the first call when he had second thoughts about it on the morning of the game. We were confident in it.ADVERTISEMENT The Packers (5-6) were in control of a game they never trailed, taking advantage of Jared Goff's career-high three fumbles returning one for a score in the first quarter and Dan Campbell's aggre sivene s on fourth down.The Lions (8-3) went for it Andre Iguodala Jersey five times on fourth down and only converted once on the final touchdown drive. One of the failed attempts was a risky decision to fake a punt with a run from their 23 in the third quarter down by nine points.That obviously was a very critical play in the game, LaFleur said. And, that translated into a touchdown.Three plays after the failed fake, Love threw a 16-yard touchdown pa s to Watson to give Green Bay a 29-14 lead. Campbell later lamented that decision.Its a bad call, Campbell said. I shouldnt have done that to those guys.Goff pulled Detroit within seven points with a 12-yard touchdown pa s to Josh Reynolds and 2-point conversion pa s to Sam La Porta with 41 seconds left, but couldn't get closer four days after rallying from a 12-point deficit in the last few minutes in a comeback win over Chicago.The Lions were called for an illegal formation when they attempted an onside kick, a fitting end for them on an afternoon that started poorly and didn't get much better to deflate what was a fired-up crowd.I didnt have my guys ready to go, bottom line, Campbell said.Love was 22 of 32 for 268 yards with three touchdowns, including two in the first quarter to rookies Jayden Reed and Tucker Kraft. He had a career-long 37-yard run on a read-option play on third down late in the fourth quarter to seal the win. Rashan Gary led Green Bay's dominant performance on defense.He forced a career-high two fumbles, recovering one of them Brad Wanamaker Jersey , and tied a career high with three sacks and seven tackles on the same field where the former Michigan star tore a knee ligament last season.Gary was in tears as in the locker room.Throughout this whole time, theres been a lot of emotion, Gary said. I was praying, trying to keep my head cool.Goff finished 29 of 44 for 332 yards with two touchdowns, including one on a 7-yard pa s to LaPorta on the Lions' first drive. His three fumbles, though, doomed Detroit's chances.Jonathan Owens returned one of Goff's turnovers 27 yards for a score that gave Green Bay a 20-6 lead in the Alen Smailagic Jersey opening quarter, getting some appreciation from his wife, Olympic gold-medal-winning gymnast , on social media.In Detroit's previous game against Chicago, Goff threw three interceptions for the first time in three seasons with the franchise.Sometimes there is an answer, sometimes there isnt, he said. Overall, its my job to take care of the football.UNNECESSARY ROUGHNESSLaFleur was running off the field at Kevin Durant Jersey halftime when a Ford Field security guard was in his way and as they briefly collided.There might have been illegal contact, he joked. It wasn't a big deal.HOLIDAY JEERThe Lions, who were booed by their fans at times, have lost seven straight games on Thanksgiving.INJURIESPackers: RB Aaron Jones (knee), CB Jaire Alexander (shoulder), LB DeVondre Campbell (neck), S Rudy Ford (shoulder), Dontayvion Wicks (concu sion, knee) TE Josiah Deguara (hip) were inactive.Lions: Guard Jonah Jackson (wrist) was inactive for the fifth time in six games.UP NEXTPackers: host Kansas City on Sunday night, Dec. 3.
