Score updates as the Lions take on the Packers for “Monday Night Football.”
Stick around here as we provide live score updates and highlights of the Week 6 “Monday Night Football” game between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers.
First quarter
The Detroit Lions got the ball first and boy did they come out swinging. On the very first play, Darrell Bevell called a flea flicker and Matthew Stafford found Kenny Golladay for 66 yards.

Unfortunately, Stafford flubbed two of the next three plays, fumbling the snap on first down and tripping over his own feet on third down. Still, the Lions quickly got on the board with a chip-shot field goal. 3-0 Lions.
Pregame
Week 6 proved just how good the NFC North may be. The Minnesota Vikings obliterated the Philadelphia Eagles, moving to a 4-2 record and second place in the division. As it currently stands, the NFC North is the only division in which all four teams have a winning record. In fact, no other division even has three teams over .500. This division will not be decided in October or November. This is coming down to the final couple weeks of the season.
That being said, the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers have an opportunity to make a statement on “Monday Night Football.” The winner takes first place in this competitive division, but much more is at stake in terms of perception.
The Packers already have two wins in the division and a third would make them the odds-on favorite to run away with this thing.
The Lions are coming off a bye week after a close loss to the Chiefs that suddenly doesn’t look quite as impressive. In fact, their entire 2-1-1 resume is not looking all that great given the current trajectory of the Eagles and Chargers. They need an undeniable statement win to prove they belong in the “contenders” category. Monday night is that opportunity.
The Lions have won four straight against the Packers, but Aaron Rodgers has only played in a full game in one of those. If Detroit is going to truly own this rivalry, a win in Lambeau in front of a national audience is a good way to do it.
Here’s how to watch the game.
