The Packers’ passing game made it look easy on the first possession today against the Lions.
Packers quarterback Jordan Love hit tight end Tucker Kraft in the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown to end Green Bay’s first drive. Love was 6-for-8 for 65 yards.
Lions cornerback Brian Branch handed the Packers 15 yards when he committed a bonehead penalty, taking Kraft’s helmet and throwing it, which the officials flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. The Lions’ defense can’t afford foolishness like that against a good Packers team.
Now the Lions’ offense will try to answer, as we get our first look at Micah Parsons in a Packers uniform.
