Green Bay Packers grab lead on touchdown pass vs. Detroit Lions

As usual, Aaron Rodgers made a difficult play look easy.

With the Packers at the Detroit 21, the Lions sent a blitz on second down. Rodgers quickly looked over the linemen and hit a wide open Jermichael Finley.

Finley made the catch and ran to the end zone untouched to give the Packers a 7-3 lead with 13:56 left in the second quarter.

The Packers converted three third downs on their 81-yard scoring drive and lead despite the Lions having double the time of possession.
