GREEN BAY Ty Summers Jersey Womens , Wis. 鈥斅燚etroit Lions聽kicker聽Matt Prater聽lined up for a field goal but seemed a little antsy, gesturing with his arms like a quarterback calling for a shotgun snap.Packers CoverageGreen Bay Packers 2019 NFL draft capsulesPackers close out 2019 draft, select LB Summers in seventh roundPackers add CB Hollman, RB Williams in sixth roundPackers address defense in fifth round, select DL Kingsley KekePackers use third-round pick to select TE Jace SternbergerPackers draft versatile OL Elgton Jenkins in second roundPotential Packers Day 2 picks in 2019 NFL draftTop Tweets: New Packers LB Gary emotional after NFL dream realizedPackers trade up, draft safety Darnell Savage at No. 21 overallPackers select Rashan Gary with 12th overall pick in 2019 NFL draftIt turns out that was exactly what it was.Prater’s 8-yard pass on a fake field-goal try was a high and a little wobbly, but聽Levine Toilolo聽was so wide open in the end zone that it didn’t matter.The Lions’ beleaguered season ended on a high note on Sunday, when almost everything went right for Detroit in a 31-0 win over the聽Green Bay Packers.“Basically I was trying not to screw it up,” Prater said. “It worked out, so it was fun.”Not so much for the Packers (6-9-1), who trailed 21-0 at the half and lost聽Aaron Rodgers聽early in the second quarter after to a concussion. The quarterback was sacked and lost his helmet on the second play of the game.Rodgers played two more series before departing. The offense never got going even when he was behind center.“Yeah Ty Summers Green Bay Packers Jersey , it was hard. We just didn’t have any rhythm,” interim head coach Joe Philbin said.Both teams had long been eliminated from playoff contention. But the Lions (6-10) at least got a little positive push at the end of Matt Patricia’s first season as coach.Matthew Stafford聽threw for 266 yards and two scores, both to聽T.J. Jones聽.聽Zach Zenner聽had a 13-yard touchdown run for the Lions, who have won four straight against their NFC North rival for the first time since 1982-83. That was one bright spot for a last-place Detroit team.“I think those guys fought all year. I think they’re tough 鈥?mentally and physically tough,” Patricia said. “It showed up in the game today.”SHORT ON RECEIVERSThe Lions’ passing game clicked despite a depleted receiving corps, with聽Kenny Golladay聽missing the relatively meaningless game with a chest injury. The Lions had decisive edges in total yards (261-67) and first downs (16-3) by halftime, with 11 of the first downs coming through the air.Zenner finished with 93 yards on 21 carries. Stafford was 20 of 32, while rookie Brandon Powell had six catches for 103 yards“It was an opportunity for them and obviously it was a big stage,” Stafford said about working with the young receivers. “Not an easy day to catch the football, wind swirling, cold Aaron Rodgers Jersey , Lambeau Field.”FINE FAKEPrater’s touchdown pass gave the Lions a 14-0 lead with 10:36 left in the second quarter.“Slow delivery, lollipop, but it was on target so that was a plus,” Stafford joked when asked about the kicker’s throw.OVER AND OUTRodgers walked back to the locker room around the same time his teammates were getting over the shock of Detroit’s trick play.It was unclear exactly when Rodgers got hurt. He was 3 of 5 for 26 yards, not the way he wanted to finish even in a meaningless game.“I said, ‘How long are you playing?’ He said, ‘I’m going the distance,'” linebacker聽Clay Matthews聽said, recounting a pregame talk with Rodgers. “I said, ‘All right, I’ll be out there with you in the fourth.’ But it didn’t play out like that.”The Packers were also without receiver聽Davante Adams Clay Matthews Jersey , who missed practice this week with a knee injury. Adams finished the season with 111 catches, one shy of tying the single-season franchise record set by Sterling Sharpe in 1993.Backup聽DeShone Kizer聽finished 16 of 35 for 132 yards and an interception, while聽Jamaal Williams聽managed just four yards on eight carries.Green Bay didn’t top 100 yards in total offense until the third quarter.UNCERTAIN FUTUREThere is uncertainty in Titletown following a second straight losing season and the firing of coach Mike McCarthy in early December. Philbin, the offensive coordinator, went 2-2 as interim coach.When asked when he would interview for a chance to take the job permanently, Philbin deferred any questions to team president Mark Murphy, who is leading the search.Rodgers and Adams have each voiced support over the past couple weeks for Philbin.“I was very appreciative of all the things they did all season and in the four weeks that I was leading them,” Philbin said in recounting his postgame message. “And that we would get together tomorrow, we’re going to have a brief team meeting tomorrow and we’ll go from there.” In 2017, the Atlanta Falcons and New York Giants were trending in very different directions. Atlanta was coming off a Super Bowl appearance and made the playoffs as a Wild Card; the Giants however, took a nosedive and fell from 11-5 and a playoff appearance the year before to 3-13 a year ago and holding the second overall pick in the draft.This season Mike Daniels Jersey , however, both are sitting at the bottom of their respective divisions. Atlanta comes into Monday night’s game at 2-4 after seeing its roster be ravaged by injuries to key players. Starters Devonta Freeman, Keanu Neal, Ricardo Allen, Deion Jones, and Andy Levitre are all on injured reserve, with several more players banged up this week.The Giants, meanwhile, are 1-5 with new head coach Pat Shurmur at the helm. Rookie running back Saquon Barkley has been good, but he isn’t the problem; the team sits in the bottom six of the NFL in both points scored and points allowed.If you dare, tune in for tonight’s game and follow along with us here at APC.WHO?New York Giants (1-5) vs. Atlanta Falcons (2-4)WHEN?Monday Brett Favre Jersey , October 22nd, 20188:15 PM Eastern TimeWHERE?Mercedes-Benz StadiumAtlanta, GeorgiaHOW?TV Broadcast: ESPNOnline Streaming: ESPN.com or ESPN appCommentators: Joe Tessitore, Jason Witten, Anthony McFarland, Lisa SaltersRadio Broadcast: Westwood One SportsANYTHING ELSE?OddsFalcons favored by 5 pointsOver/under total: 53Last MeetingWeek 2 2015: Falcons 24, @Giants 20All-Time Head-to-Head RecordRegular Season: Falcons lead 12-11-0Playoffs: Giants lead 1-0
