Lions’ Stafford does a number on the Packers

He throws for 361 yards and two touchdowns to Jones as team ends skid.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Matthew Stafford put on a quarterback clinic for the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field.

Aaron Rodgers could only watch from the sideline.

Stafford passed for 361 yards and two touchdowns to Marvin Jones, and the Lions ended a losing streak at three games with a 30-17 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night.

“Matt [made] some great throws, I just did what I love to do — go out there and get them,” Jones said.

Stafford was 26-for-33 passing, including 12 for 14 in the first half with a 25-yard touchdown pass to Jones. Ameer Abdullah had a fouryard touchdown run for Detroit (4-4).

Green Bay (4-4) got in the end zone on quarterback Brett Hundley’s one-yard run with 9 minutes 52 seconds left.

The Lions answered with Stafford’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Jones with 8:06 remaining, putting the game out of reach. Jones had seven catches for 107 yards.

The strike to Jones was the 200th touchdown pass in 117 games for Stafford, 29, the sixth-quickest in NFL history to reach the milestone.

The Packers have lost three consecutive games. Their once-potent offense has struggled since Rodgers broke his right collarbone Oct. 15 at Minnesota.

Hundley completed 26 of 38 passes for 245 yards. Cornerback Darius Slay blanketed Jordy Nelson when the Packers tried to throw long while the game was still competitive.

“With this one obviously it doesn’t get a whole lot better than this. We played well,” Lions coach Jim Caldwell said.

Abdullah fumbled the ball away in the third quarter, but the Packers went three and out.

Familiar problems in the red zone popped up for the Lions when they were stopped on three plays at the Packers one, forced to settle for a field goal for a 17-point lead with 12:25 left.

But without Rodgers, the Packers couldn’t keep up. “I believe in Brett, that’s not just a press conference statement,” coach Mike McCarthy said about Hundley.

The Lions were eight for 13 on third-down conversions, with Stafford burning the Packers with clutch throws. The Packers were two for nine on third downs and failed to convert both of their fourth-down chances.

“They controlled the third-down battle tonight,” McCarthy said. “We have work to do.”
