Packers: Lions expert previews key matchups in Week 5 game

This is an important game for both the Packers and Lions.

It’s a must win for the hosts. A fourth loss in five weeks would potentially end Detroit’s playoff hopes.

While the Packers don’t need a win quite as desperately, a loss would put them 2-2-1 after five games, still behind the 3-1 Chicago Bears, who are on bye.

Despite the Lions’ slow start to 2018, this will be a very difficult game for Mike McCarthy’s team.

To get some insight on the Lions ahead of this important divisional showdown, I spoke with Steven Mullenax, site expert for SideLion Report.
