"That's a lot of faith and belief in Mason's abilities," LaFleur said. "He knows himself. He's been doing it a long time and I'm just glad, definitely, he made us right."

The field goal was Crosby's longest since a 57-yarder against the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 3, 2013, and the second-longest of his career besides his franchise-record make from 58 on Oct. 23, 2011, in Minnesota.

Still, it was a high-stakes call on LaFleur's part. If Crosby came up empty, the Lions would've taken over at midfield down seven with 3:30 still on the clock and two timeouts remaining.

Instead, Detroit had to eat another 1:41 off the clock before settling for a Matt Prater 32-yard field goal to move back within a touchdown.

Any hope of a comeback was extinguished with Jack Fox's onside kick going out of bounds and then Aaron Rodgers hitting tight end Robert Tonyan on a play-action rollout for a first down that was needed for Green Bay to run the clock out on its 10th win of the season.
