LIONS dominate Packers to take control of the NFC North There's a new sheriff in town. After another big win over the Packers at Lambeau Field, the 3-1 Lions are positioning themselves to secure their first NFC North crown. Building off a 24-point first-half lead helped the Lions extend their division win streak to six -- and four straight over Green Bay. Detroit has tied the franchise's longest win streak in the division in the Super Bowl era (1983, 1995) with coach Dan Campbell turning the tide. Describe the game in two words: Gut check. Both the offense and defense held up their end of the bargain during a dominant first half, but Detroit's offense was shut out in the third quarter, as the Packers got within 10 to start the fourth, before ultimately sealing the deal with a strong finish in a hostile setting. Running back David Montgomery has a least one rushing touchdown in his first three games as a Lion. Despite missing Week 3 with a thigh injury, the former Bears running back picked up where he left off with two of his three rushing touchdowns before halftime. He has seamlessly filled the role of former Lions running back Jamaal Williams, now in New Orleans, who was able to break Hall of Famer Barry Sanders' team mark for the most rushing touchdowns in a single season with 17 in 2022. Entering the game, Montgomery had two rushing TDs in seven career games against the Packers. QB breakdown: What started off with an ugly drive -- Goff was intercepted by Packers safety Rudy Ford in the first two minutes -- quickly turned around with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown on the next drive. Goff picked Green Bay apart at times, finishing with 210 passing yards, 1 TD and 1 INT while completing 19 of 28 attempts. Goff is now 5-1 against the Packers in his career. Next game: vs. Carolina Panthers (1 p.m. ET, Sunday, Oct. 8) via @espn Social: Twitch-http://twitch.tv/GmiasWorld Facebook-http://www.facebook.com/GmiasWorld Twitter-https://www.twitter.com/GmiasWorld Donate:https://streamlabs.com/gmiasworld Instagram-https://www.instagram.com/GmiasWorld GmiasWorld Merch: https://gmiasworld.myspreadshop.com Background Music (Exclusive) by @ZaneAlexanderNC #nfl #gmiasworld
