Quarterback
D+:He didn't have much help from his receivers early, but Matthew Stafford didn't have a great day throwing the ball, either. He turned the ball over three times, twice on

interceptions and once on a fumble, and completed just 17 of 39 passes. Stafford threw for 266 yards, but his touchdown pass to Calvin Johnson probably should have been

intercepted and he looked out of sync with his receivers on many of his incompletions.
Running backs
B: The Lions have relied heavily on Mikel Leshoure the last two weeks, and while Leshoure still misses some holes, he was effective Sunday. He carried 19 times for 84 yards,

scored his fifth rushing touchdown of the year and gave the offense balance. Joique Bell had just one carry and has seen his role minimized lately.
Receivers and tight ends
C-: Johnson and Titus Young had first-quarter drops nba shoes that set the offense back, and Young had penalties for pass

interference and a false start on back-to-back plays in the third quarter. He also was mysteriously absent from the game's final drive, when the Lions used Johnson, Ryan Broyles

and tight ends Tony Scheffler and Brandon Pettigrew. Johnson had five catches for 143 yards, his third straight 100-yard day, but no other receiver had more than 35 yards.
Offensive line
C-: Stafford was sacked five times and under a good deal of pressure, a lot of it during the final three quarters after rookie Riley Reiff replaced Jeff Backus (hamstring) at

left tackle. The Packers challenged Reiff with a variety of blitz looks, and Reiff, who has played all year as a sixth offensive lineman, was called for two holding penalties

(one enforced). Right tackle Gosder Cherilus had a costly false start with 1:43 to play.
Defensive line
A-: The Lions continue to get good play from basketball shoes their defensive tackles. Nick Fairley was all over the field,

making seven tackles, two sacks and forcing a fumble, and Ndamukong Suh did a good job collapsing the pocket. Willie Young and Sammie Hill drew holding penalties with good

first-quarter rushes and Cliff Avril upped his sack total to a team-leading 5 ? with one Sunday. Avril did miss a tackle for loss when he couldn't disengage on a third-and-1 run

by James Starks, and he and Fairley were called for offside penalties for lining up in the neutral zone.
Linebackers
B-: The Lions didn't commit much help to stopping the run, but still held Starks to 3 yards a carry, a credit to the front seven and a linebacking corps that Kyle Vanden Bosch

said was asked to two-gap a lot. Stephen Tulloch had a team-high nine tackles and made a couple of good stops in the run game late in the first quarter, and Justin Durant made a

nice one-arm tackle on Starks for another 2-yard loss before halftime. Tulloch did miss a tackle on Jermichael Finley's 40-yard basketball shoes for men catch that set up the game-winning touchdown and played a screen pass when Finley was alone in the

middle of the field on his 20-yard touchdown.
Defensive backs
C-: Coming off one of his best games last week against the Vikings, Jacob Lacey struggled on a couple of big plays late. He got beat on Randall Cobb's game-winning 22-yard

touchdown, got stuck in traffic on Finley's long catch and was part of some confusion in the secondary on Cobb's 15-yard run. Drayton Florence was called for defensive holding

on Jordy Nelson in the fourth quarter, but he gave the defense a boost and made a big tackle on a designed third-down dump-off to Cobb. Safety play continues to be a question

for the Lions, who rotated Erik Coleman and Don Carey at the spot opposite Ricardo Silva on Sunday.
Special teams
B: Nick Harris hasn't been getting much leg into the ball, but he had a respectable 39.3-yard net average Sunday. He probably should have tried to sell a running-into-the-punter

penalty in the fourth quarter when he was kicking from his own end zone and the Packers grazed him on his follow-through. Stefan Logan muffed a fair catch on a punt that he fell

on, and the Lions got good coverage overall.
Coaching
C: Give defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham and his staff credit for a game plan that held Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in check for 3 nba shoes ? quarters, though a couple of late-game breakdowns undid their effort. Offensively, it was disconcerting to see receivers

coach Shawn Jefferson yelling at coordinator Scott Linehan on the sideline, though frustrations often arise during the course of a game. The Lions wasted a time-out when Green

Bay lined up for a 58-yard field goal in the second half that no one in the building thought they were going to attempt and the Lions had no chance on a third-and-goal two-

receiver route early when they had to settle for a field goal.
