The Lions were on the wrong end of an Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary as they fell just short of sweeping the Packers by losing to Green Bay 27-23 on the game’s final play. “All I saw was the dude catching the ball,” Lions cornerback Darius Slay said of the final play. “Limited words, I don’t know what to say. I’m just in shock mode.” “When they were awarded the extra play, it kind of hit me,” Lions running back Ameer Abdullah said. “I was like, ‘Really?’ I know how the Hail Mary stuff goes. Nowadays, it’s more probable that they catch it than it gets batted down.” Still, Detroit has rebounded nicely after getting off to a dismal 1-7 start this season. “We’ve been through a real rough patch,” Lions head coach Jim Caldwell told reporters. “It was real tough – to get a team to hang in there together and to focus and get it turned around where they’re playing consistently, I think in itself, is a lot more difficult than what you’re talking about because I think it’s over a long span of time.” Now, the Lions hope to give their faint playoff hopes a slight boost by taking out the struggling Rams and the forecast looks great with quarterback Matthew Stafford tossing nine TD passes and just one interception in his last four games. Stafford tossed two touchdowns and no picks against the Packers last weekend.
