Fantasy: Lions bottle up Rodgers, Lacy and Packers offense

Andrew Weber / USA TODAY Sports

It was a disappointing day for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers offense Sunday. In a game against the Detroit Lions that had all the makings of a shootout, the Packers produced just one offensive touchdown.

Rodgers connected with tight end Andrew Quarless on a 10-yard touchdown in the first quarter, but the Packers failed to build on that start and didn't score another point in the game. 

Rodgers finished 16-of-27 for just 162 yards and the lone touchdown. Those numbers pale in comparison to the 346 yards and three touchdowns he dropped on the New York Jets last week.

Jordy Nelson was the top Packers receiver, catching five balls for 59 yards. Randall Cobb produced just 29 yards through the air.

Things weren't any better in the ground game. Eddie Lacy was stifled all afternoon. He finished with 11 carries for 36 yards and lost a fumble, too.
