Still scoreless, Lions get picked off in end zone
The Lions finally got their first third-down conversion of the game, sort of, when the Packers' Nick Barnett was flagged for a facemaks penalty on a sack of Drew Stanton on third-and-6 from the Green Bay 26.
But on third-and-goal from the 10, Stanton was picked off trying to hit receiver John Standeford in the end zone. Safety Atari Bigby had inside position to make the play, and the Lions came up empty on their first -- and last? -- red-zone opportunity of the day.
