GREEN BAY – The Packers went into their bye week with a disappointing 24-14 loss to the Lions on a rainy Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Here are five takeaways from the defeat the ended Green Bay's four-game winning streak and dropped the Packers to 6-3.

1. Name a miscue, the Packers made it.

Penalties, dropped passes, a missed field goal, a botched handoff, off-target snaps and throws, … the list goes on. No phase was immune to a damaging error, which Head Coach Matt LaFleur accurately referenced as "self-inflicted wounds" after the game.

Just on the initial two drives alone, the Packers were called for a personal foul on the opening kickoff return and a false start, dropped a pass on third down in the red zone (limiting the drive to a field goal), and jumped offside on a Detroit fourth-and-goal to make the Lions' first touchdown easier.

By game's end, the penalties were up to 10 (for 67 yards), the dropped passes reached at least a half dozen – multiple on key third downs or near/in the end zone – and the Packers couldn't score a touchdown until way too late, when less than four minutes remained in the game.

"They played a cleaner game, much cleaner than we did," LaFleur said.

"When we were driving or getting into scoring position, it seemed like we had false starts, we had (bad) snaps, the ball was on the ground. Just way too many mistakes, and you cannot do that against a good football team, because they're going to make you pay."

2. The sequence spanning halftime decided the game.

Despite the litany of blunders, the Packers were down just 7-3 late in the first half, and the defense got a stop in the red zone to force a field goal.

But down by seven with less than a minute on the clock, QB Jordan Love (playing through a groin injury) appeared to try to do too much, looking to flip a short pass to running back Josh Jacobs as he got out of the pocket to escape pressure

Lions safety Kerby Joseph was hiding amidst the bigger pass rushers and reached up to snag Love's pass and return it 27 yards for a touchdown and a 17-3 halftime lead. Joseph's interception was his sixth of the season, tying Packers safety Xavier McKinney for the league lead.

"I didn't see him when I threw it," said Love of his 10th interception on the season, after he finished 23-of-39 for 273 yards and a 69.7 rating. "I just saw Josh kind of trying to get out of there. The ball didn't go where I wanted it to. And, yeah, critical error."

It was compounded by the defense allowing a nine-play, 71-yard drive for a touchdown – which included a backbreaking defensive holding penalty on third down – that made it 24-3 midway through the third quarter, and the Packers were in big trouble.

"That's a lot to overcome right there," LaFleur said.

3. The wasted opportunities by the offense were beyond frustrating.

As noted, the early dropped third-down pass in the red zone cost the Packers four points. A 37-yard run by Jacobs (13 carries, 95 yards) to start Green Bay's second drive amounted to nothing after a false start turned third-and-3 into third-and-8 and an eventual punt.

Consecutive personal fouls on Lions safety Brian Branch, first for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Packers receiver Bo Melton, and then another for unsportsmanlike conduct after the referee announced he was ejected, gave the Packers 30 yards. But another third-down drop and missed 46-yard field goal kept the score 7-3 in Detroit's favor.

In the third quarter, a 32-yard completion to Jayden Reed (five catches, 113 yards) only produced a field goal when a handoff attempt and a shotgun snap both hit the ground on consecutive plays.

And last but not least, in the fourth, catches of 28 yards by Reed and 19 by Melton went for naught as Love's third-down throw to the end zone for Dontayvion Wicks was a tad behind him and dropped as he spun to try to haul it in. Then Jacobs was stuffed on fourth-and-1.

"Definitely was a little bit behind him, but I think that's a play that he can make and I think he knows he can make it," Love said of the play-action bootleg that had Wicks wide open. "Obviously I can do a better job getting the ball out in front of him, putting it right on him."

That final failure left the score 24-6 with 10 minutes left and any hopes of a rally were gone.

4. On balance, the defensive effort was commendable.

The Lions, now 7-1, came in averaging better than 40 points per game over the last month, with Jared Goff playing as efficiently as any quarterback in the league.

Goff remained efficient (18-of-22, 145 yards, one TD, 109.3 rating) as his receivers dropped no passes in the Lions' first outdoor game of the season, and in the rain no less. But Green Bay's defense allowed just 17 points and forced four points on Detroit's first seven possessions.

The difference between the two teams on this day, though, was crystal clear on the Lions' two offensive touchdown plays, and the way they executed when they absolutely needed to.

Both scores came on fourth downs. The first was a perfect boundary throw to Amon-Ra St. Brown (seven catches, 56 yards), capped by an expert toe-tap, from the 3-yard line after the helpful offside call. The other came on fourth-and-1 from the 15, when running back Jahmyr Gibbs cut back into a wide-open hole and cruised untouched into the end zone.

Gibbs (11 carries, 65 yards) and David Montgomery (17-73) combined for 138 yards on the ground, but the Packers held the Lions to 261 yards overall and 4-for-12 on third downs.

5. The Packers need to get healthy, and get a lot straightened out, after their bye.

Love's groin injury should be better in two weeks, but where center Josh Myers (wrist), cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) and safety Evan Williams (hamstring) will be health-wise after missing Sunday's game isn't certain, though hopefully the time off will aid their healing.

But all the health in the world won't help much if the Packers don't clean up their game.

"It's disappointing when you have a big game like this against one of the best teams in the league and you feel like there were just too many mistakes," LaFleur said. "You can't overcome those against a good football team. That's exactly what Detroit is.

"Like I said, they just played a clean game. They really didn't put the ball in jeopardy. They grind it out."
