Packers-Lions Preview: Green Bay stumbles into Detroit to face resurgent Lions

Mike McCarthy's team looks to get its revenge from two and a half weeks ago against a Detroit squad that has now won three in a row.

While Green Bay has looked lost over the last month and a half, Detroit has gotten hot and inserted their name in the thick of the playoff race. Thursday night is an important game not only because of the division implications, but because both need a win to help gain traction in a crowded NFC. Just when everyone began to think the Packers had turned the corner with a win in Minnesota, they failed to show up on the biggest stage of the year in a home loss to Chicago on Thanksgiving.
