“The bottom line is, whoever wins this game is going to be the leader in the North,” said Head Coach Matt LaFleur at his midweek presser.
The Packers and Lions have a number of storylines to consider heading into Monday Night Football at Lambeau Field (will Davante Adams play? Mike Daniels is returning in a different uniform), but that one might be the most important for the time being. Win on Monday, lead the NFC North.
For the Packers, this is an opportunity to sit 3-0 in the division, with not a single division game remaining until their last three games of the season, the gauntlet that has them hosting Chicago Week 15 before traveling to Minneapolis Week 16 and Detroit Week 17 to close the 2019 regular season.
