Packers vs. Lions: 3 key matchups to watch in Week 9

Ten years ago, Lions Week had a totally different outlook for the Green Bay Packers. This week, the winner will be in first place in the NFC North.

The Packers escaped with a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it came at a cost, as several key players were injured. Top corner Jaire Alexander and standout rookie safety Evan Williams both left the game early.

Meanwhile, after exiting in the third quarter, Jordan Love’s status is also uncertain as he nurses an aggravated groin. Even with less mobility, Love could give the Packers their best chance of winning.
