Green Bay, Wisconsin – Jordan Love threw a pair of touchdown passes and Micah Parsons produced a sack in his Green Bay debut as the Packers delivered an exceptional defensive performance in a 27-13 victory over the Detroit Lions.
The Packers won their 13th consecutive home opener. Green Bay scored its first three drives to pull ahead for good. The Packers’ convincing win over the two-time defending NFC North champions represented a fresh start after they went 1-5 in divisional games last season.
The Lions didn’t reach the end zone until the final minute, thanks to the first NFL TD for Lions rookie receiver Isaac TeSlaa. Detroit will host the Chicago Bears Sunday at 1pm. Listen to Lions games locally on 96.5fm The Cave.
