The Facts:
Flynn entered the game in the third quarter and the Packers trailing 20-7 after HC Mike McCarthy pulled Scott Tolzien, who had started the last two games. But McCarthy would not commit to Flynn as his starter for Thursday's game against the rival Lions. "I don't have [an answer] for you," said McCarthy, who acknowledged he has "no idea" whether injured star Aaron Rodgers will return for the Thanksgiving matchup against Detroit.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Flynn passed for 218 yards to help the Packers storm back from a 16-point deficit, but the teams could only muster field goals in overtime Sunday. He became the fourth Packers quarterback since Rodgers broke his collarbone Nov. 4 against the Chicago Bears. "We need to sit down as a staff, frankly, and talk about the things that went on today and how that affects our planning for Detroit," McCarthy said. "Just like we always do when we step away from the staff room, we'll do what's in the best interests of our football team and gives us the best chance to win." Flynn, who spent his first four NFL seasons as Rodgers' backup before leaving in free agency following the 2011 season, re-signed with the Packers on Nov. 12 after Seneca Wallace sustained a season-ending groin injury.
