GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers once again put themselves in an early hole. They couldn't quite dig their way out this time. Jordan Love was sacked four times and the Packers gained just 21 yards in the first half of a 34-20 loss to the Detroit Lions. The brutal start came four nights after they beat the New Orleans Saints 18-17 only by scoring 18 unanswered points in the game's final 11 minutes. This marked the first time since 1990 that the Packers faced halftime deficits of at least 17 points in back-to-back weeks. They trailed 17-0 at halftime against the Saints.
