Why the Lions secondary will face their toughest test vs. Packers

I feel like it’s Groundhog Day for the Detroit Lions, as once again they are tasked with taking on some difficult wide receivers this week. Unlike previous weeks, it’s not just one, two, or even three wide receivers they need to worry about, it’s four of them. The Green Bay Packers don’t have a “superstar” wide receiver, but they have plenty of solid contributors that give defenses trouble.

For Detroit to walk away with a victory, the secondary will have the biggest task in slowing down the Packers wide receivers. Whether that is forcing Green Bay to move their offense to the ground, creating turnovers, or getting help from elsewhere to assist them, the game will determine how they perform.
