GREEN BAY, Wis. - Aaron Rodgers returned to the field after tending to a calf injury and threw a touchdown to Randall Cobb as the Green Bay Packers lead the Detroit Lions 21-14 in the third quarter on Sunday.
Rodgers left the game in the first half after throwing his first score, also to Cobb, re-aggravating the calf he hurt in the team's win last Sunday at Tampa.
Matt Flynn started a drive for Green Bay, going 1-for-1 on 6 yards in relief of Rodgers.
Calvin Johnson caught two touchdown passes from Matthew Stafford for Detroit (11-4), the first after the drive was extended when Stafford was roughed on a third-down play.
Johnson hauled in a 13 yard score in the corner of the end zone to tie the match at 14 halfway through the third frame to end a 51 yard drive.
Micah Hyde opened scoring in the first quarter when he returned a punt 55 yards for a Packers touchdown.
Both sides are playing for top spot in the NFC North, and the loser will sit at the number-six spot in the conference for postseason play.
