Packers strike first over Lions

GREEN BAY, Wis. - Micah Hyde returned a punt 55 yards for a touchdown as the Green Bay Packers snatch a 7-0 lead over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.

Hyde had a 75 yard punt return touchdown against the Eagles in a 23-point victory Nov. 16. 

The Lions had 12 yards, all rushes, on 8 plays over two drives until then as both quarterbacks have been held to no yards passing.

After going 62 yards over ten plays on their first drive, the Packers were held to nothing on their first possession.

The Packers took to the ground as Eddie Lacy carried five times for 38 yards including a burst into Lions territory on a 22 yard gainer. James Starks responded with a 17 yard rush to the Lions 3.

But Lacy was stuffed on the 4th-and-Goal play from the Lions 1 when his rush over left tackle was sniffed out by Detroit's Ezekiel Ansah after two incomplete passes from Aaron Rodgers.

Detroit (11-4) has not won a contest at Lambeau Field since 1991, though the winner of the game Sunday will determine the champion of the NFC North.
