Let's go back in time to a previous meeting between the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers...
It was October 14th, 2019, as the Lions descended into the deep darkness of the Bob Quinn/Matt Patricia era. At this time, there was still some light at the end of the tunnel. The Lions opened the season 2-1-1, but were coming off a very promising loss to the rising sun that was Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Green Bay was 4-1 and the class of the NFC North, but the Lions appeared poised to challenge them.
And then came the Monday night game in Green Bay, with Clete Blakeman as the referee.
