DETROIT — The Green Bay Packers got an unexpected extra chance to stop the Detroit Lions' offense on Thursday night. They still couldn't do it. With 43 seconds left in a 31-31 tie, the Lions faced fourth-and-inches from the Packers 21. They were in easy field-goal range for Jake Bates, but coach Dan Campbell decided he didn't want to leave Green Bay any time on the clock. He kept his offense on the field, and the Packers couldn't get a stop. Green Bay was swept by the NFC North rival Lions, likely putting a divsion title out of reach.
