GREEN BAY - Despite a lost fumble and a safety, the Packers lead the Detroit Lions 10-9 after one quarter of play.

Backup quarterback Matt Flynn went 10 of 17 passing for 100 yards, including a touchdown to Jordy Nelson. Nelson finished the quarter with 43 yards on four catches.

Detroit quarterback Matt Stafford threw an eight-yard touchdown to receiver Titus Young. The Lions also scored two points on a safety when Packers returner Pat Lee mistakenly took a knee in the end zone after fielding the ball past the goal line.
