Tonyan, meanwhile, became the first tight end in franchise history to catch a touchdown pass in four consecutive games with his 4-yard TD catch in the fourth quarter.
His nine TD receptions are the most by a Packers tight end since Bubba Franks matched that in 2001. Tonyan needs only two more to match Paul Coffman's franchise record of 11, set in 1983.
If that wasn't enough, Tonyan also threw a chip block that caused three Lions defensive linemen to domino into each other on the third-and-14 play when Rodgers hit Valdes-Scantling for 21.
"He's a smart route-runner, he understands the scheme, I think he's got a good feel out on the field," said Rodgers of Tonyan. "I think the jumps that you've seen from him have been across the board. You've seen him become a better blocker, become a better route runner, be better after the catch. He's always been a great hands catcher. And you love that as a quarterback because of the radius you can throw the ball to him."
Another clean outing: The Packers' equipment staff hasn't needed to overdo it with scrubbing Rodgers' jersey, given how well the offensive line has blocked for its two-time MVP QB.
The Packers pitched another shutout against the Lions, as Rodgers wasn't sacked once, while playing behind the offensive line of David Bakhtiari, Lucas Patrick, Elgton Jenkins, Billy Turner and Rick Wagner for the second straight week.
"Today was a very light day as far as getting hit, no sacks. I felt like my movement in the pocket was good," said Rodgers, who has been sacked only 13 times in 13 games.
"Rick, I think, has done a really nice job at right tackle. Lucas Patrick has been fantastic for us all season long. Elgton playing multiple positions. Obviously, the big giraffe (Bakhtiari) has had a fantastic year and Billy has been so versatile for us. … Those guys have been playing really, really good."
