NFC North Rundown: Lions’ bad luck continues with loss on a 66-yard field goal

With a thrilling 37-second drive, the Green Bay Packers defeated the San Francisco 49ers 30-28 on Mason Crosby’s late field goal and moved to 2-1 on the young season. Green Bay became the first NFC North team to reach a pair of wins in exciting fashion, but it was anything but exciting for some other teams across the division.

Perhaps no team was more distraught than Detroit on Sunday after Baltimore defeated the Lions on a 66-yard field goal as the clock hit zero. Today’s recap details the unfortunate loss, complete with a missed penalty one play beforehand.
