Detroit Gambles, Beats Packers

Detroit (AP)- Dan Campbell’s gambles paid off. Detroit went for it on fourth down for a fifth time to set up Jake Bates’ 35-yard field goal as time expired, Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes and the Lions clinched a playoff spot with a 34-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. The NFC-best Lions (12-1) broke a franchise record with their 11th straight win-including two over the Packers (9-4) to stay ahead of Minnesota (10-2) in the highly competitive NFC North.
