The Packers thumped the Lions in this game with their backups playing all of the second half.  Brett Favre made a brief, but outstanding performance as he completed 9 of 11 passes for 99 yards with 2 TD passes and he also ran the ball 1 time for 21 yards.  Craig Nall replaced Favre and he completed 7 of 15 passes for 88 yards with 1 TD pass.  Ryan Grant also made a mark before he left the game as he carried the ball 6 times for 57 yards (9.5 ypc) with a TD run.  Brandon Jackson relieved Grant and had the best game of his NFL career as he rushed for 113 yards on 20 carries (5.7 ypc).  Koren Robinson led the way for the Packers with 4 grabs for 47 yards and a TD.  Bubba Franks and Ruvell Martin each caught a TD pass in this game also.  The Packers finished up with 217 yards rushing on 38 carries (5.7 ypc) and they also completed 16 of 26 passes for 177 yards.

The Packers defense had a complete team effort as no one player really stood out.  The Lions finished up with 47 yards rushing on 17 carries (2.8 ypc) and they also completed 22 of 48 passes for 246 yards.
