Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers: Dave Birkett's scouting report, prediction

Dave Birkett breaks down the Detroit Lions' season finale Sunday against the Green Bay Packers:

Lions run offense vs. Packers run defense

Kerryon Johnson split time with Bo Scarbrough in his return last week from October knee surgery. The pair was effective enough at a combined 4.2 yards per carry that the Lions likely will divvy up the work in a similar fashion on Sunday.

Both are at their best running between the tackles. Scarbrough is a sledgehammer who punishes defenders in short yardage, while Johnson said he saw the field as well as he ever has.
