Sixty minutes have come and gone, and the Green Bay Packers still haven't found a way to score. Since the Packers retired Brett Favre's number at halftime on Thanksgiving night, they've been shut out. The Packers were held scoreless by the Bears in the second half immediately after Favre's ceremony, and the Packers offense failed to score in the first half on Thursday night against the Lions.
The last time the Packers scored? Mason Crosby hit a 50-yard field on the last play of the first half last Thursday night. The Packers came close to scoring in the second half, but they failed on all four of their plays from inside the Bears' 10-yard line in the closing seconds of last week's loss.
Against the Lions, the Packers' only chance to score came on a field goal attempt, but Crosby's kick nailed the upright. At halftime, the Packers are averaging 1.1 yards per rush. They've gained 73 yards on Lions' penalties, while gaining only 78 on their own. Aaron Rodgers threw an ugly interception and his receivers can't seem to get open.
Prior to the game, the Packers hadn't been shut out in the first half of a game since the infamous Fail Mary game.
This is the first time the Packers have gone scoreless in the first half of a game since Week 3 of the 2012 season.
