Detroit snapped a four-game Monday Night Football losing streak as its defense forced three Cowboy turnovers (two in OT) and Barry Sanders tallied 194 yards rushing (second-highest in his career) on a club-record 40 carries.

Emmitt Smith scampered six yards for the tying TD with 4:09 remaining in regulation. Hanson had a 57-yard attempt blocked by Dallas' Leon Lett on the final play of the fourth quarter setting up a wild overtime period. In overtime, Detroit took the kickoff to the Dallas 34-yard line setting up another chance for Hanson, but Lett blocked his second-consecutive Hanson offering to keep the score knotted. The next two Dallas drives were snuffed when Pat Swilling (one sack and seven solo tackles) recovered a fumble after Dallas G Derek Kennard caught a tipped pass, and Broderick Thomas (one sack and nine tackles) pounced on an Aikman fumble, giving Detroit possession at the Dallas 43-yard line and setting up Hanson's third chance at heroics.

Taking advantage of four first half Detroit turnovers (and converting them into 17 points), Green Bay staked itself to a 38-14 cushion heading into the fourth quarter, only to see Lion back-up QB Dave Krieg (23-of-33 for 275 yards and 3 TDs) pull Detroit to within 38-30 in the final minutes of the game. Krieg came on in relief of Detroit starter Scott Mitchell, who left the game after sustaining a broken bone in his right hand in the second quarter. Green Bay stormed to a 24-0 lead after Bryce Paup's 10-yard interception return for TD, a 30-yard Chris Jacke field goal, and two Brett Favre (24-of-36 for 237 yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT) TD strikes. The Lions finally got on the scoreboard thanks to a brilliant 91-yard Mel Gray kickoff return for TD, his second of the season and fifth of his record-breaking career. Favre and Robert Brooks hooked up for the second time to give the Packers a 31-7 halftime lead. However, after the fifth Lion turnover of the game on their first possession of the second half, Krieg led Detroit to three-straight TD drives. A 28-yard TD connection to Herman Moore (8 receptions, career-high 151 yards and 2 TDs) cut the lead to 31-14, but was offset by a 10-yard Reggie Cobb TD scamper to push the lead to 38-14. Krieg then hit Aubrey Matthews from 15 yards to pull to within 38-22 (two-point conversion was good), and after a perfectly executed onside kick gave Detroit possession, Krieg went to Moore from 1-yard out to cut the lead to 38-30 (again converting the two-point play).

And despite yielding 343 total net yards and allowing the Tampa Bay offense to penetrate into field goal range five times, the Lions' defensive troops escaped by allowing only three Michael Husted (from 20, 41 and 34 yards) field goals. Trailing 3-0 at halftime, Detroit marched 83 yards on nine plays to begin the second half, with Derrick Moore capping the drive with a 1-yard TD plunge. Husted's 41-yarder cut the Lion lead to 7-6, but a Dave Krieg (5-of-13 for 99 yards and 1 TD) scoring strike to Herman Moore on the subsequent drive pushed the Detroit cushion to 14-6 heading into the fourth quarter. Husted's 34-yarder at the beginning of the fourth quarter chopped Detroit's lead to 14-9. The Lions were forced to punt, but on the ensuing drive, linebacker Tracy Scroggins came up big, sacking Tampa Bay's Craig Erickson (16-of-23 for 243 yards) on consecutive plays, forcing a punt, which resulted in Sanders and the Lions' ground attack running out the clock to ensure Detroit's third win in its last four games.

Sanders led the way for Detroit with 188 yards and one TD on 20 carries, giving him a team-record 1,594 rushing yards this season. The outing was almost overshadowed by the topnotch play of the Packers' Brett Favre, who threw for 366 yards and three TDs on 29-of-43 passing in leading Green Bay to 417 yards of total offense. A 96-yard kickoff return for a TD by Robert Brooks late in the first quarter gave the Packers a 14-3 lead, but the Lions bounced back with pinpoint passing from QB Dave Krieg (196 yards and two TDs on 18-of-30 passing) to take a 24-21 halftime lead. Green Bay again looked to Favre in the third quarter as the Packer signal caller drove the team to a FG and then hooked up with Anthony Morgan for a 47-yard TD strike -- his second TD catch of the game. Detroit responded with 10 points of its own with Sanders galloping for 63 yards and setting up a one-yard TD run by Derrick Moore. Detroit DB Willie Clay's interception at the Lions' eight-yard line -- his third in two games -- ended a late Green Bay drive and helped preserve the victory for Detroit. A great game - Includes halftime (Quality 8.5) (12-31-94) 1994 NFC Wildcard Playoffs - Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers - Green Bay's 16-12 victory over Detroit at Lambeau Field can be attributed to the play of the Packers' defense as Detroit RB Barry Sanders, the NFL's leading rusher in 1994, was held to (-1) yards rushing on 13 carries. Green Bay -- led by Bryce Paup (two sacks), Sean Jones (one sack), and Reggie White (one sack) -- was especially tough in the first half when the Packers built a 10-0 halftime lead in limiting the Lions to 58 yards of total offense and just two first downs. After the two teams traded field goals in the third quarter, Detroit KR Mel Gray provided the Lions with a spark following a 68-yard kickoff return. The play set up a three-yard TD pass from Dave Krieg-to-Brett Perriman. Green Bay QB Brett Favre (23-of-38, 262 yards) responded by putting the Packers in position for a 28-yard field goal by Chris Jacke. With the Lions needing a touchdown to win the game, Krieg drove Detroit inside the Green Bay 20-yard line with less than two minutes to play but a fourth down pass to Herman Moore was ruled incomplete as Moore landed just out of the end zone. Green Bay P Craig Hentrich preserved the victory for Green Bay as he ran off the final seconds in the game in taking a safety.

Green Bay QB Brett Favre engineered the Packers' attack flawlessly throughout as he was 23 of 34 for 342 yards and two touchdowns, including a seven-yard strike to FB Dorsey Levens on the first play of the second quarter to give the Pack a 10-0 lead. K Chris Jacke added his second of three field goals and RB Edgar Bennett (148 total yards) plunged in from one-yard out to increase the Packers' cushion to 20-0 heading into the locker room. Lions' QB Scott Mitchell (17 of 41 for 205 yards, three touchdowns and an interception) sparked the Detroit offense in the third quarter leading the club to two quick touchdown drives. He hit WR Herman Moore from 17 yards out and rifled a 16-yarder to WR Johnnie Morton, but sandwiched between the two scores was a 12-yard Favre to Robert Brooks TD connection, which left the Lions trailing 27-14 heading into the final quarter. Mitchell's second TD toss to Moore on the day brought Detroit to within 27-21 early in the fourth quarter, but that was the closest the Lions would get. Any hope the Lions had for a comeback was dashed as the Packers sustained two late drives, resulting in a field goal and a missed field goal. On the defensive side, LB Chris Spielman did have a stellar outing, tallying a season-high 16 tackles, as did DT Henry Thomas, who chipped in with seven tackles and a sack. (Quality 8.5) (10-29-95) Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions - The Detroit defense forced four Packer turnovers (three first half interceptions and a fumble recovery late in the fourth quarter), WR Herman Moore (six receptions for 147 yards) notched the first three touchdown game of his career and RB Barry Sanders (22 carries for 167 yards) rambled into the top ten on the NFL's all-time rushing list as the Lions held off Green Bay 24-16 at a sold out Pontiac Silverdome. S Willie Clay set the tone early, intercepting Packer QB Brett Favre (26 of 43 for 304 yards, three INTs and a TD) on consecutive drives to begin the game as the Lions parlayed the first into a 10-yard Scott Mitchell (15 of 23 for 249 yards and three touchdowns) to Moore scoring toss and a 7-0 lead. Chris Jacke hit the first of his three field goals early in the second quarter to cut the lead to 7-3, but the Lions struck on the next play to stretch their lead to 14-3 as Mitchell found Moore on a 69-yard TD strike, the club's longest scoring pass of the season. Green Bay WR Robert Brooks then turned a crossing pattern into a 77-yard touchdown gallop to cut the Lions' lead to 14-10, but Mitchell and Moore hooked up for the third time of the half on Detroit's next possession (a 29-yard TD dart) to take a 21-10 cushion into halftime. Two third quarter Jacke field goals sliced the Lions' lead to 21-16, but Jason Hanson offset that effort with a 38-yarder (his 10th field goal in a row) early in the fourth quarter to increase the advantage to 24-16. With the Packers driving deep in Lions' territory, Tracy Scroggins came up big with his team-high sixth sack of the year, forcing a Favre fumble, which Chris Spielman (team-high 14 tackles) pounced on to preserve the win.

In a closely contested first half, the Packers mustered a 10-0 halftime lead on a first quarter 20-yard field goal by Chris Jacke and a 92-yard punt return early in the second quarter by Desmond Howard. The Packers' bid for a larger halftime edge was thwarted late in the second quarter when Bennie Blades intercepted Brett Favre (16 of 25 for 240 yards and a TD) deep in Lions' territory. Green Bay extended their lead to 16-0 on their first drive of the second half on a one-yard TD sneak by Favre (extra point failed).

The catch also was Moore's 100th of the season, making him one of only two players in NFL history to go over the century mark in receptions in three straight years (Jerry Rice, 1994-96). Also in the contest, Barry Sanders (19 carries for 138 yards) became the first player in league history to record 13 100-yard games in the same season, and he extended his NFL-record streak to 13 consecutive 100-yard games.

Following a 38-yard miss by Murray, the Lions took over on their own 28-yard line setting the stage for the game-winning drive. - Added February, 2008 (12-21-97) New York Jets @ Detroit Lions - Barry Sanders gets 2000 Yards - The Lions clinched their fourth playoff appearance in five years with a come-from-behind 13-10 win over the New York Jets at the sold out Silverdome. The win was highlighted by Barry Sanders becoming only the third man in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season, but marred by a scary injury early in the fourth quarter to Detroit LB Reggie Brown, who lied motionless on the field for several minutes before being transported to a local hospital. New York stormed to a quick 10-0 lead after their first two possessions, scoring on a 32-yard field goal by John Hall, and a 14-yard Adrian Murrell touchdown run.

Detroit marched 50 yards in seven plays to open the second half, with Herman Moore reeling in a 25-yard touchdown pass (two-point pass failed) from Scott Mitchell to culminate the drive, but after a punt by each club, the Packers mounted a marathon 18-play, 85-yard TD drive (Antonio Freeman six-yard pass from Brett Favre) to increase their lead to 24-12. The Lions were then momentarily energized by a 101-yard kickoff return for touchdown by Terry Fair (first such Lions' return since Johnnie Morton on December 25, 1994), but on the ensuing kickoff, Green Bay's Roell Preston answered Fair's heroics by racing 100 yards to bring the Packers' lead back to 31-19. The sequence marked only the fourth time in NFL history that two consecutive kickoffs had been returned for touchdown (first occasion since 1987).

Also in the game, Sanders extended two all-time NFL records he owns -- his 155 yards rushing marked the 25th time in his career he rushed for over 150 yards in a game, and the 73-yard scoring jaunt was the 15th in his career of over 50 yards. - (Quality 9) 　 1999 (09-19-99) Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions - Detroit used a big-play offense, a bend-but-don’t-break defense and two long returns from their special teams to hold off the Green Bay Packers, 23-15, in their 1999 home opener. The game was the first Lions’ home opening sellout since 1975, and it gave Detroit their first 2-0 start to a season since 1993. Green Bay’s Ryan Longwell began the scoring with a 45-yard field goal midway through the first quarter to stake the Packers to a 3-0 lead. Detroit fought back with two second quarter touchdown passes from QB Charlie Batch – one a 45-yarder to Johnnie Morton on the first play of the quarter, and the other on a 74-yarder to TE David Sloan.

After a scoreless third quarter, the Packers recorded a safety on the first play of the fourth quarter when long-snapper Allen Aldridge hiked the ball over John Jett’s head from punt formation to trim Detroit’s lead to 14-8. After the free kick, Green Bay drove 52 yards in five plays (Dorsey Levens’ two-yard TD plunge) to take a 15-14 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, however, Terry Fair raced 91 yards to the Packers’ eight-yard line, setting up Batch’s one-yard scramble three plays for the go-ahead score. The two-point conversion failed, leaving the Lions with a 20-15 advantage.

This time, they were victimized on by the Lions at the Pontiac Silverdome. Five turnovers by Green Bay proved too costly, and Charlie Batch's 30-yard touchdown pass to Herman Moore 11 minutes into the third quarter was enough to eliminate a successful comeback by Brett Favre and the Packers. The Packers dominated many offensive statistics, including time of possession (34:36-to-25:24), total first downs (19-to-11) and total net yards (339-to-253), but Green Bay's 3 interceptions and 2 lost fumbles were the most critical statistics of the afternoon.

Another six players, including starters Bill Schroeder and Mike Wahle, were hurt during the game.

Five Lions’ turnovers were ultimately too much to overcome. The Packers’ Ahman Green stretched the final outcome to 26-13 with a 39-yard touchdown scamper with 1:54 left following an onside kick attempt by the Lions after they had crept the score to 19-13 moments earlier. The first half was dominated by Green Bay statistically, but only translated to a 6-0 deficit for the Lions. Detroit bent, but didn’t break, with two Ryan Longwell field goals (22 and 27 yards) accounting for the only scoring despite the Packers holding the ball almost twice as long as Detroit did (19:32-to-10:28). Jason Hanson got the Lions on the scoreboard midway through the third quarter with a 26-yard field goal, but the Packers stretched their lead to 12-3 early in the fourth quarter with two more Longwell efforts, both coming after Charlie Batch interceptions. Detroit pulled to within two points at 12-10 after James Stewart’s one-yard TD plunge (tenth of season) on fourth-and-goal, but the Packers answered by immediately driving 80 yards in six plays to return their advantage to nine points at 19-10 with only 4:25 remaining.

After holding the Lions to a three-and-out series to begin the game, the Packers wasted no time putting points on the scoreboard. QB Brett Favre hit WR Bill Schroeder on the team's opening play for 34 yards, and only three plays later, RB Ahman Green galloped 31 yards to give the Packers a 7-0 lead.

Favre hit Schroeder on back-to-back plays, a 35-yard completion and a 23-yard touchdown, to give the Packers a 14-0 lead. After a second three-and-out series by the Lions' offense, the Packers needed only one play to increase their lead to 21-0. Green fended off several tacklers, bounced outside and sprinted 83 yards for his second touchdown of the game. The Lions, however, did answer as K Jason Hanson nailed a 49-yard field goal to place the Lions on the scoreboard. Midway through the second quarter, Hanson booted his second field goal (39 yards) of the day to place the score at 21-6. DE Robert Porcher's sack of Favre (first of the season and 75.5 during 10-year career) late in the second quarter placed him in a tie with Al "Bubba" Baker as the team's all-time career sack leader. The Lions defense forced a turnover with 2:05 remaining in the half. Both LB Chris Claiborne and DT Kelvin Pritchett hit Green at the line of scrimmage, forcing the fumble, while CB Lamar Campbell recovered.
