Calvin Johnson quickly made up for a drop on the Lions’ third drive.
Two plays after missing on a first-down pass, Johnson caught a 53-yard bomb from Matthew Stafford to put the Lions inside the red zone for the first time today.
An illegal hands to the face penalty on the Packers gave the Lions goal-to-go, but they couldn’t punch in the touchdown and settled for a 30-yard field goal by Jason Hanson after Stafford was sacked on third and goal.
With 4:24 left in the first quarter, the Lions lead 3-0.
