For the third consecutive time, the Green Bay Packers were beaten by the Detroit Lions at home in Lambeau Field. The Week 9 result led to Detroit commanding a 7-1 lead in the NFC North. Subsequently, the Packers dropped to 6-3.
While the Lions continue to prove themselves as a top team in the league, and the final score was not a blowout, the loss was a disappointing result for Green Bay. A division like the NFC North in 2024 causes each singular result to swing the standings significantly. The Packers missed an opportunity to gain the tiebreaker over the current leader, who entered Week 9 with countless injuries.
