The Green Bay Packers lead their NFC North clash against the Detroit Lions at the break, but quarterback Aaron Rodgers was carted off with a calf injury at the end of the second quarter.
The Packers had success on their first possession of the game as they drove right to the goal line, but they couldn't find the endzone in three attempts.
Mike McCarthy kept his offense out on fourth down to go for the score, but Eddie Lacy was stopped on the goal line by several defenders.
However, the home side did find the endzone when Sam Martin's punt was collected by Micah Hyde and returned all the way for a 55-yard score as he made many would-be tacklers miss with a jinking run.
The Lions had the chance to hit back as Lacy fumbled the ball, but Matthew Stafford couldn't get his offense moving and they missed a chance to kick a field goal when they failed to convert on a fourth-down play.
The Packers extended their lead when Rodgers picked out Randall Cobb in the endzone for seven-yard score, but the touchdown came at a huge cost as the quarterback fell to the ground clutching his already-injured calf and he had to be helped from the field.
The Lions compounded the home side's woes as they got back into the game when Stafford fired the ball downfield to Calvin Johnson, who made a grab between two defenders for a touchdown.
