What to Know
The Green Bay Packers won both of their matches against the Detroit Lions last season (42-21 and 31-24) and are aiming for the same result Monday. Green Bay and Detroit will face off in an NFC North battle at 8:15 p.m. ET at Lambeau Field. The Packers are expected to win again but are hoping to meet expectations this time.
There’s no need to mince words: Green Bay lost to the New Orleans Saints last week, and they lost bad. The score wound up at 38-3. Green Bay was down 24-3 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from. QB Aaron Rodgers had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: besides failing to produce a single touchdown, he threw two interceptions with only 133 yards passing.
Meanwhile, Detroit came up short against the San Francisco 49ers last week, falling 41-33. The Lions’ defeat shouldn’t obscure the performances of QB Jared Goff, who passed for three TDs and 338 yards on 57 attempts, and RB Jamaal Williams, who punched in one rushing touchdown. Goff ended up with a passer rating of 130.30.
These two teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses last week. We’ll see which team satisfies their hunger and which team leaves with an empty stomach.
