Detroit went 70 yards in 11 plays, going 2-for-2 on third down and getting another conversion on a Packers penalty.
David Montgomery capped off the drive with a 3-yard touchdown run.
The Lions had a chance to hold the Packers to a field goal when Dan Skipper, subbing for Taylor Decker at left tackle, was called for a holding penalty.
