Detroit News reporters John Niyo and Justin Rogers break down the Lions' upcoming primetime showdown with the NFC North-leading Packers. Justin Rogers, The Detroit News
Detroit — This used to be the Lions’ most frightful trip of the year. Whether they had high hopes or nope, they’d go to Green Bay and get booted by ghosts and greats.
The Packers have long been the Lions’ barometer and barrier, the primary reason Detroit hasn’t won a division title in 26 years. That has shifted of late, with the Lions winning four straight partly because Aaron Rodgers was injured.
