Marvin Jones

There are three men in NFL history who have ever come on the road scored multiple touchdowns in back-to-back games at Lambeau Field.

Herman Moore. Calvin Johnson. And now Marvin Jones.

Jones was the catalyst for the Detroit Lions in a massive 30-17 win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football that both served as a way to keep the Lions in the playoff race while putting Green Bay's streak of playoff appearances in serious peril.

Both Jones and Golden Tate were unstoppable on this day. The two combined for 14 receptions and 220 yards while Jones had those two touchdowns. Both men crushed their Projected Fantasy Points totals, and not surprisingly, Matt Stafford blew past his, too. In fact, both of Detroit's top rushers, Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick also posted wins on Dober Play Cards.

The story for Green Bay is starting to get crystal clear: This team stinks without Aaron Rodgers.

Of course, if you take away any team's No. 1 quarterback, especially when that man happens to be a future Hall of Famer, you're going to have troubles. But we're not sure that Green Bay would beat San Francisco or Cleveland right now in this form.

Brett Hundley struggled mightily for a third consecutive game, though his final stats and fantasy results were a lot better than his actual performance. At no point during the course of the game did it feel like Hundley was going to finish with 18 Dober Fantasy Points.
