Studs and Duds from Lions' Week 13 loss to Packers

The Detroit Lions lost to the Green Bay Packers 31-24 on Thanksgiving, making the NFC North title an uphill battle for the rest of the season.

The offense once again started slow, forcing the Lions to play from behind for the entire game. Despite finding some success later in the game, the defense couldn't hold up its end of the bargain in the redzone and the Packers were able to score at will.

Here are the most notable individual performances from the Week 13 loss:

Dud: Trystan Colon

Trystan Colon was thrust into a challenging position on Thursday, taking over for injured center Graham Glasgow. Colon's name was called early for all the wrong reasons, stepping on Jared Goff's foot early and getting bullrushed into Amon-Ra St. Brown early in the first quarter.

Colon and the interior of the offensive line struggled significantly in the first half, not only against the pass rush but on run plays as well. Colon had the worst Pro Football Focus grade of any Lions offensive lineman in the run game.

Stud: Jameson Williams

Wide receiver Jameson Williams took over as the top offensive option for the Lions after Amon-Ra St. Brown's early exit. The running game once again wasn't working out but Williams delivered over and over again with the exception of one key drop on a 4th down pass from Jared Goff that could've led to a game-changing touchdown.

Williams caught seven of his 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown. With St. Brown's status in question, Williams became the focal point he needed to be and will have to continue that for as long as he's WR1.

Dud: Amik Roberston

Amik Roberston has been on the bad end of some exceptional performances by opposing receivers, in part due to the pass rush giving quarterback Jordan Love and his receivers plenty of time to operate within their offense.

Roberston got the start over a healthy Terrion Arnold, and didn't improve much on what was a poor performance last week. Roberston was targeted nine times, giving up five catches for 95 yards and a touchdown.

Dud: D.J. Reed

D.J. Reed's return to the defense has been less than ideal, in part due to the performance of the rest of the Lions defense, but he had multiple occasions on Thursday in which he simply got beat and the Packers scored.

The Lions defense has been particularly poor in the redzone, but Reed was the target of two short, out routes that were made with relative ease for touchdowns when the Lions desperately needed to force a field goal.

Stud: Tom Kennedy

Frequent practice squad flyer Tom Kennedy made his presence felt early in this game with the injuries to Kalif Raymond and then Amon-Ra St. Brown. Kennedy returned punts in place of Raymond, returning just one but making it count for 21 yards.

Kennedy made his biggest impact as a receiver, making four catches for 36 yards in a game where every conversion was necessary just to keep the Lions within striking distance.
