NFC North showdown has Lions’ high-powered offense facing Packers’ ball-hawking defense

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Detroit Lions have a big-time offense.

The Green Bay Packers specialize in taking the ball away.

The NFL’s highest-scoring offense and the league leader in takeaways will face off Sunday when the NFC North-leading Lions (6-1) visit the Packers (6-2).

The game features the NFC’s two hottest teams, as the Lions have reeled off five consecutive victories while the Packers have won four straight.

“It’s going to be a playoff-type game,” Packers running back Josh Jacobs said.

The Packers enter this game with an uncertain quarterback situation.
