Packers’ Julius Peppers gets forces and recovers the fumble on Lions’ Matthew Stafford (Video)
By Mike Dyce
The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions are squaring off in a NFC North battle. The Lions were leading the Packers and in the red zone threatening to score again and the Packers needed a big defensive play.
That was Julius Peppers’ cue, getting around the right tackle rather easily and wrapping up Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford. Instead of driving Stafford to the ground, Peppers realized the opportunity he had, stuck his hand in and ripped the ball out of Stafford’s grasp.
Pepeprs wasn’t done their either, he fell over Stafford to recover the fumble as well, ending the Lions’ drive and giving the Packers the ball back.
