Packers 14, Lions 3 (End Q1)

For those of you still holding your breath after Packers RB Ryan Grant left the game with 6 minutes, 11 seconds to go in the quarter, go ahead and exhale.

We were told he suffered a stinger, and his return will be up to coach Mike McCarthy. He's drawing closer to the 1,000-yard mark for the season, but McCarthy has to decide if that milestone is worth risking an injury to the Packers' featured rusher. I know that 1,000 is important, but can McCarthy really take that risk at this point?

Quick hits:
*K Mason Crosby set the Packers' single-season scoring record for kickers only with his first extra point of the day, which gave him 132 points this season.
*As I type, we've had a Bubba Franks siting. He just caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Brett Favre. Make it 21-3.
*Speaking of Favre, his 21-yard scamper in the first quarter was his longest run from scrimmage since 1998.
*Koren Robinson's touchdown reception was his first with the Packers.
