GREEN BAY, WI (MetroSource-WSAU) -- Mason Crosby's chip-shot field goal as time expired lifted the Green Bay Packers to a 23-22 win over the Detroit Lions on Monday Night Football at Lambeau Field. 

Aaron Rodgers threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns as Green Bay overcame a 22-13 deficit in the fourth quarter. Jamaal Williams rushed for 104 yards for the Pack, who trailed 13-0 before trying the game early in the third quarter. 

The Packers capitalized on two questionable hands to the face penalties against the Lions' Trey Flowers to come back and win. One negated a sack that would have forced a fourth-down punt and the other helped run down the clock before Crosby's winning kick. Green Bay snapped a four-game skid against Detroit to improve to 5-and-1. 

Matthew Stafford passed for 265 yards for the Lions, who lost their second straight to slip to 2-2-1.

Tom grew up in Wausau listening to sports on WSAU and music on our sister stations WRIG and WIFC and decided early on that that was where he wanted to be. After graduating from Wausau East in the mid 70's Tom headed to UWSP. He worked at the college radio station WWSP and weekends on WIFC while earning a degree in Communication.

After college he worked a year at WKAU radio in the Fox Valley before returning to Wausau and moving into radio sales. He missed the on-air work and returned to the air when WOFM went on the air and when it was purchased by Midwest Communications was asked to take on the sports position on WSAU. He has spent the last 13 years as part of the WSAU morning team while also broadcasting Wausau East sports and contributing to the morning show on WIFC.

If you listen to the show you know that Tom is the coach of the Wausau American Legion Baseball team. He's married (Sandy) with two sons (Wade & Cory) and spends his spare time reading, listening to music, watching movies and tv shows and following most of the major sports.
