The Lions played hard against the Packers but they still became the only team in NFL history to finish a season with a 0-16 record.  Dan Orlovsky had a decent game against the Packers completing 22 of 42 passes for 225 yards with 2 TD passes and 2 interceptions.  Kevin Smith was workmanlike in the running game as he carried the ball 28 times for 92 yards (3.2 ypc) with a TD run.  WR Calvin Johnson was good right to the very end for the Lions as he caught 9 passes for 102 yards (11.3 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  The Lions finished up with 316 total yards of offense in this game but it just wasn’t enough to win.

The Lions’ defense was horrible in this game as the Packers rushed for 211 yards (7.8 ypc) and passed for 273 yards!  The Lions finished in 4th place in the NFC North with a 0-16 record!
