The Green Bay Packers needed fewer than five minutes to respond to the Detroit Lions and re-take the lead on Sunday night at Lambeau Field.
Aaron Rodgers completed five of six passes for 75 yards and the go-ahead touchdown pass to Allen Lazard from 13 yards out with 3:17 left in the third quarter.
Green Bay now leads, 16-13. The Packers need a win in the regular season finale to clinch a playoff spot.
The Lions took a 13-9 lead on Jamaal Williams’ 1-yard touchdown run with 8:05 left in the third quarter, but the Packers engineered a 9-play, 83-yard scoring drive.
Rodgers hit Christian Watson for a 45-yard completion to get the drive moving. The Packers also converted on third down with a Rodgers quarterback sneak.
