Gibbs momentum was stopped for about a 1-2 yard gain, but he stayed upright.  His teammates then began the "rugby scrum push" on him. They pushed him forward for another 5 yards.  While this was going on, and I watched this a few times, a few Lions players were pushing Packer players, from behind.  The worst offender, Lions RT Dan Skipper took a running start and plowed into the back of Devonte Wyatt (beyond 3 yards of the LOS).  Now I am kind of new to football, but isn't hitting a guy in the back, outside of the "free-blocking zone" a penalty?  This isn't the first time I have seen offensive players plow into defenders from behind.</blockquote>
