The Detroit Lions have had their fair share of season finale matchups against the Packers over the last few years. If we’ve learned one thing from them, it’s that the Lions always play hard in them, especially if they’re meaningless.

There’s a lot playing into why this may or may not happen, beginning with last week’s embarrassment against the Seahawks. Given the build of this team/roster, I don’t think many of us expected that the Lions would lean towards their backup quarterback, as opposed to the run game, when Tim Boyle had to play.
