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.

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.
