It is time? Also, what\u2019s the organization doing? That\u2019s part of it as well. But the competitive fire is always going to be there.

Facing fourth-and-1 from the Green Bay 15, the Lions passed up a field-goal attempt and got a clinching first down on Jared Goff\u2019s 9-yard pass to DJ Chark.\u00a0Goff also had connected with Chark for a first down on fourth-and-2 during the Lions\u2019 go-ahead drive.<\/p>\n<p>The Lions rebounded from a 1-6 start by winning eight of their last 10 games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe hard part of this is that it\u2019s over for this season, because it is a special group,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cBut, hey, if you\u2019ve got to go down on that one, if it\u2019s the last one of for the season, man, what better way to go out than that for 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Playing to extend their season, the Packers frequently lost their composure.<\/p>\n<p>Linebacker Quay Walker was ejected during the Lions\u2019 go-ahead drive after pushing Lions team physician Sean Lynch, who was attending to an injured Detroit player. That was the second ejection of the season for the rookie first-round pick, who also got tossed from a loss at Buffalo for shoving Bills practice-squad tight end Zach Davidson.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"687\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/1455146782.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Lions\" class=\"wp-image-25288669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/1455146782.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/1455146782.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/01\/1455146782.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Jamal Williams celebrates scoring a touchdown for the Lions on Sunday night.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Detroit\u2019s Michael Badgley made a field goal to close the first half after a personal foul on Green Bay\u2019s Rasul Douglas turned what would have been a 48-yard attempt into a 33-yarder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got a much higher standard for our players than to do silly things like that,\u201d LaFleur said. \u201cI mean, we\u2019ve had a guy get ejected twice. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever seen that in my career. And we\u2019ve got to be much more mentally tough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Green Bay led 9-6 after a first half that featured five field goals and numerous wasted chances. Then, on the Packers\u2019 first possession of the second half, Mason Crosby\u2019s 53-yard field-goal attempt hit the crossbar and bounced backward. Crosby had gone 3 of 3 on field-goal attempts in the first half.<\/p>\n<p>The Lions took over and moved ahead for the first time in the game. Goff threw a 43-yard pass to Kalif Raymond to set up Williams\u2019 TD from 1 yard out.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers answered on their next series. Rodgers connected with Christian Watson for a 45-yard completion that set up his 13-yard touchdown pass to Allen Lazard.<\/p>\n<p>On the Packers\u2019 final possession, Rodgers threw two incompletions before Joseph intercepted him for the third time this season. Joseph had two of the Lions\u2019 three picks in a\u00a015-9 victory\u00a0on Nov. 6 and had another potential interception on Sunday that was nullified by a penalty.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the third straight season the Packers have ended their season by losing at Lambeau Field. They had the NFC\u2019s top regular-season record each of the last two years but fell to San Francisco in the divisional playoffs last season and to Tampa Bay in the conference championship game a year earlier.<\/p>\n<p>This season there won\u2019t be any playoff games involving the Packers, at Lambeau Field or anywhere else.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
