GREEN BAY, Wis. Discount Saucony Shoes . - With quarterback Aaron Rodgers hurting again, Packers coach Mike McCarthy had to tweak the plan in the passing game against the Detroit Lions.As it turns out, Eddie Lacy played just as crucial a role against one of the top run defences in the league.Rodgers threw two touchdown passes to Randall Cobb while playing with a sore left calf, Lacy gashed Detroit for 100 yards and the Packers won a fourth straight NFC North title with a 30-20 victory on Sunday.With the win, Green Bay (12-4) earned a bye and secured the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs. Detroit (11-5) is the sixth seed, and will play at Dallas on Sunday.As bad as it felt, I thought if I can go out there and be able to do some things and we win, I get another week to rehab it, Rodgers said.The franchise quarterback was out of the game for about a seven-minute stretch between the second and third quarters. By the time he returned, the Lions had rallied from a 14-0 deficit to tie the game on two touchdown catches by receiver Calvin Johnson.Rodgers hobbled back on to the field in the third quarter and led his team on a scoring drive that ended with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Cobb. The Packers didnt look back, though McCarthy had to change some plans on the fly with Rodgers having limited mobility.There were more shotgun formations and quick passes, just like last week after Rodgers initially hurt his calf in a win over Tampa Bay.But the Packers stuck with the plan on the ground. They were determined to keep running the ball in spite of the Lions tough rush defence.The Packers finished with 152 yards on the ground, a season-high on the ground against Detroit.Lacy got his shoulders square and ran down the field. We had a tough time and we didnt tackle very well early on, Lions coach Jim Caldwell said.Here are a few other takeaways after Green Bay extended Detroits road losing streak in the series to 24 games:RODGERS NIGHT: Rodgers finished 17 of 22 for 226 yards. He also called a quarterback sneak from 1 yard out that gave Green Bay a 28-14 lead with 8:45 left. MVP! MVP chanted adoring fans while light snow dusted Lambeau Field.The franchise quarterback finished the season with a 112.2 passer rating and is the only player in NFL history to register a 100-plus rating in six consecutive seasons.SUHS STEPS: Rodgers felt more pain after Detroits 305-pound defensive tackle, Ndamukong Suh, stumbled back and stepped on Rodgers lower left leg while the quarterback was on the ground at the end of a play. There was no penalty, and Rodgers said referee Walt Anderson told him he thought Suh was blocked into the quarterback.McCarthy didnt see the play, but heard enough from others to be unhappy with Suh.Theres no place for that, McCarthy said. I dont understand it, frankly.Suh had cleared out of the locker room by the time reporters were allowed in after the game. Caldwell also said he didnt see the play but had it recounted to him.Dont think it was intentional. End of story, Caldwell said.LIONS MISTAKES: Five penalties hurt the Lions momentum in the first half. A turnover crippled their chances in the second.After blocking Mason Crosbys 52-yard field goal attempt, the Lions lost the ball when quarterback Matthew Stafford fumbled on what looked like an aborted handoff to Joique Bell. The Packers cashed in with Rodgers 1-yard sneak.It was just on our part, self-inflicted wounds, and we know that, cornerback Rashean Mathis said. But kudos to them, they did make plays — enough plays to win this ballgame.COLD COMFORT: Detroit lost a chance to win its first division title in two decades, but still gets to play on in the post-season for just the second time since 2000. Caldwell sought to get his team immediately refocused on Dallas.We won 11 (games) to get to this spot, so its up to us to make them count, Stafford said. He finished 20 of 41 for 217 yards.ODDS AND ENDS: Packers receiver Jordy Nelson had six catches for 86 yards, and set a franchise record with 1,519 yards for the season. ... Bell finished with 60 yards on 13 carries. ... Lions linebacker DeAndre Levy, who played in college at Wisconsin, finished with a game-high 10 tackles.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Saucony Outlet Online .com) - Will Conant booted a 39-yard field goal as time expired and Air Force played spoiler with a 27-24 win over 21st- ranked Colorado State on Friday.

Lions. Catch the game on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, and TSN5 as the tail end of a doubleheader starting at 7pm et/4pm pt. The game can also be hear on TSN Radio 1040 at 4pm pt. The Eskimos have gone from 4-14 in 2013 to 11-5 this year, but they know that securing that home playoff date for the West semifinal will not be an easy task against the Lions and their defence. Its going to be a big challenge, said running back John White, who missed Edmontons first game against the Lions this season, a 27-20 win for B.C. in Week 1. They have one of the greatest defensive fronts we play again. And two of the best linebackers in the league (Adam Bighill and Solomon Elimimian). But Im not focused on that. Theyre just players. I dont see any numbers. What the Eskimos do see is the Lions have given up just 295 points — fewest in the CFL — and have surrendered less than 20 points in five of their last six games. The Eskimos defence, however, has given up just 313 points — tied for second best with Calgary — and have surrendered less than 20 points in four of their last six games, including a shut out of the Saskatchewan Roughriders four weeks ago. With the statistics pointing towards a low-scoring, defensive game, Edmonton offensive lineman Matt ODonnell said the direction of the game will depend on the efficiency of the Eskimos offence. It all rests of thhe offence, said the six-foot-11, 340-pound right guard. Saucony Clearance Outlet. We have to be polished and have to play fast coming off the bye week. We have to come out and hit them fast and hit them hard. They have a good front seven. They move around a lot, have a lot of different packages, so we have to handle them physically up front. An Edmonton win, or a loss by fewer then seven points, will give the Eskimos second place. A win by the 9-7 Lions by seven points or more would keep them in the hunt for second place. Despite the importance of the game, Edmonton quarterback Mike Reilly said the team is not looking at it as a playoff-type matchup. Its a big regular season game but the loser is not going home, he said. Its a big game for a lot of reasons. Playing at home is the most important, the opportunity to secure second place and not having to worry about all the other scenarios. The Eskimos also said they werent worried about the 10 sacks the Lions recorded last week in their 28-23 win over Winnipeg. We watched the film … they got pretty lucky with 10 sacks, said ODonnell, who will be partly responsible for blocking Lions defensive end Khreem Smith — who had four of those sacks. It wont be the same thing tomorrow. Reilly agreed. I dont worry about it because they didnt play against us, he said. Every team in this league is better at some things and not so good at others. And theres going to be weeks when one team gets a lot of sacks. I have confidence in our guys, they have been playing great up front all season. ' ' '
