Nov. 24, 1940 – Green Bay rolls up its greatest margin of victory over Detroit, downing the Lions 50-7. Detroit turns the ball over seven times, and the Packers convert those miscues into 34 points.

Defensively, Hal Van Every, Lou Brock, Uram and Tom Greenfield combine for five interceptions. Carl Mulleneaux also returns a fumble 25 yards for a touchdown.
