bullet::::- lions 21, packers 17 (december 15, 1991) – the lions staved off a last minute comeback attempt by the packers offense led by quarterback mike tomczak to wrap up a four-point victory over the packers at lambeau field. with the win, detroit shrunk green bay’s lead in the rivalry’s series to six, the closest the all-time record has been since 1938. the game was the last time the lions defeated the packers in the state of wisconsin until 2015, as the packers held a 24-game home winning streak in the series. that season would also be the last time that detroit swept green bay until 2017.

the game started with the rams offense in possession after danny amendola returned the initial kickoff to the rams 43-yard line. the rams moved the ball down to the packers 31-yard line but had to settle for the field goal. the attempt though was blocked by the packers johnny jolly and recovered by will blackmon. blackmon returned the ball to the packers 43-yard line and the packers offense took to the field. the packers offense fluttered out at the rams 30-yard line in which the packers field goal unit took to the field. kicker mason crosby converted the 48-yard field goal for the packers to take the early 3–0 lead. the game then resumed with the rams in possession. after an initial holding penalty on first down, steven jackson then ran for no gain and caught a pass for 4 yards. on third down rams quarterback marc bulger was hit by aaron kampman in which bulger fumbled the bal. defensive end johnny jolly then recovered the fumble at the rams 15-yard line. the packers offense then took to the field in the rams red zone, but after a short run by ryan grant and an incomplete pass to donald driver, aaron rodgers was sacked for a loss of 12 yards and the packers had to settle for a 38-yard field goal attempt in which mason crosby successfully converted to extend the packers lead to 6–0. the rams then took to the field looking to make up for the turn over, but the rams luck took another turn for the worse on the first play of the drive in which running back steven jackson was stripped by cullen jenkins. the fumble was then recovered by packers cornerback al harris. the rams quarterback marc bulger was injured on the play and did not return to the game. similar to the last time the packers took over possession in the red zone, the offense failed to move the ball much and had to settle for another field goal. crosby's third field goal of the day was successful to give the packers a 9–0 lead to end the first quarter.
