Detroit, MI, October 25, 2026 —
The Detroit Lions defeated the Green Bay Packers 20-17 on a last-second 22-yard field goal by Jake Bates. The kick provided the difference in the final score, a three-point Lions win.
The available information identifies Bates as the kicker and gives the field-goal distance, but does not specify the game date, location, or the time remaining when he made the kick. It also does not provide details about how either team scored earlier in the game, the quarter in which the field goal occurred, or the sequence that set up the attempt.
The result was a narrow decision between the NFC North teams, with Detroit finishing at 20 points and Green Bay at 17. No additional information was provided about team or player statistics, injuries, coaching decisions, or postgame reactions. Those details therefore cannot be included in this account.
The reported outcome centers on Bates’ late field goal: a 22-yard kick that put the Lions ahead by three and secured the 20-17 result. The summary does not state whether the score changed hands earlier or describe any further plays after the kick. It also does not identify the source of the game information or provide comments from either team.
Without those particulars, the confirmed account is limited to the final score and the decisive kick. The Lions won, the Packers lost, and Bates made the last-second field goal from 22 yards.
