How the Packers, down 17-0 in the fourth quarter, pulled off a miraculous comeback

New York Times  

The Athletic has live coverage of Thursday Night Football featuring Packers vs Lions. Doubs drew a 22-yard defensive pass-interference penalty on Yiadom on the very next play to get the Packers to New Orleans’ 13-yard line, and a Reed catch moved the Packers to the 2. On the play itself, LaFleur said, the timing of Reed’s pre-snap motion “was certainly not right.” Doubs, Musgrave and wideout Samori Toure were all covered in the end zone, but Green Bay’s pass protection held firm and Love had all day, eventually taking more than four seconds to release the ball before finding Toure off schedule against cornerback Marshon Lattimore in the left side of the end zone. … I thought our offensive line — I know the run game wasn’t always pretty, there were some bad play calls in there, certainly — but the way they were pass protecting, I thought if the initial read isn’t there, we’ve got a guy that can go off schedule.” “I had a back-line route and they called the perfect coverage for it,” Toure said. I just came down with it on the third one.” “We thought we had something there, so obviously you’ve got to take advantage when you have a situation,” LaFleur said of going back to that end-zone 50-50 ball again and again, particularly away from the Saints’ star cornerback.
