Jared Goff, Lions Beat Josh Jacobs, Packers as Fans Praise Dan Campbell's Risky Calls

The Detroit Lions clinched a spot in the playoffs on Thursday after a plethora of risky calls from head coach Dan Campbell led to a 34-31 win over the Green Bay Packers.

The two squads traded blows in the first half, but the Lions went into the third quarter with a 10-point cushion. In the second half, Jordan Love shook off his early struggles and connected with tight end Tucker Kraft with an opening-drive touchdown. Green Bay then capitalized on an interception from Jared Goff and took a 21-17 lead.

The lead lasted momentarily before the Lions reclaimed it with a touchdown from Tim Patrick. Green Bay and Detroit traded scores early in the fourth quarter before the Packers tied it up with a field goal within the final four minutes.

The Lions faced a tough decision on fourth and inches with less than a minute to play. A field goal would give them the lead but leave Green Bay with time to mount a drive, but going for it could give Detroit the chance to run the clock out and kick the game-winning field goal as time expired.

Campbell went with the risky option, and it paid off. Even after Goff stumbled on the snap, he made the handoff to David Montgomery who secured the first down. From there, the Lions killed some clock before winning it with a field goal.

The Lions went for it on fourth down five times throughout the game, four of those attempts being successful.

After the win, fans praised Campbell for making gutsy calls to ensure the victory.

The Lions are now postseason bound for a second consecutive season, and it's hard to imagine anyone is going to stop them in the playoffs.
