Poor Officiating Or Not, Packers Have No One To Blame But Themselves For Loss to Lions

The main storyline coming out of the Green Bay Packers‘ 20-17 loss to the Detroit Lions was how poor officiating may have impacted the result. While there’s no denying that there were more than a few questionable calls made, at the end of the day, the Packers have no one to blame but themselves. The Green Bay Packers lost 20-17 to the Detroit Lions, largely due to poor officiating, but the team has no one to blame but themselves. The most common complaint was over two roughing-the-passer penalties, but some, like safety Xavier McKinney, suggested that the NFL was conspiring against his team. However, few, if any, Packers took responsibility for the loss. The team's kicking game also underperformed, with rookie Trey Smack missing three times and causing a potential game-winning field goal. In the first half, the Packers failed to score, running nine total plays for seven yards, resulting in an interception and a missed 35-yard field goal by Smack.
