Lions and Packers Battle To Rainy 14 14 Tie
The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers fought through heavy rain at Milwaukee to a 14 14 tie. Detroit, coping with Chuck Hughes' death a week earlier, needed the win to stay near Minnesota in the Central Division. A 49 yard touchdown pass from Greg Landry to Charlie Sanders with 17 seconds left in the first half provided the Lions’ salvation. The second half produced no scoring. Detroit moved to 4 2 1, trailing Minnesota 6 1, while Green Bay stood 2 4 1 after a three game losing streak.
