Aside from Chandon Sullivan's pick-six in the second half, this might have been the defensive play of the game, and it's made by undrafted rookie LB Krys Barnes (51). One snap after a Za'Darius Smith sack for a loss of 10, the Lions are backed up in a long-yardage situation and just want to run the clock down and punt, with the Packers out of timeouts. But Barnes changes the situation by shooting through the hole at the snap without a second thought. The fast-charging Barnes ends up getting clotheslined by Aboushi at the 2-yard line and the flag flies. RB Adrian Peterson gains just four yards, so the Packers don't need the holding penalty and decline it. But it's a huge play because the flag stops the clock. Rather than being able to run the time down to about 30 seconds before they punt, the Lions have to give it back to the Packers, who are trailing 14-10, with a full minute left. Green Bay takes advantage to score a touchdown before intermission, add another on the first play of the second half, and it's a 24-14 game before the Lions run another offensive play.
Play No. 4: Second-and-10 from the Detroit 25, third quarter, 14:05 left
Result: 4-yard completion to Hockenson
