When the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers first met back in Week 9, neither fanbase was feeling particularly good about where they were at. The Lions were 1-6 and fan confidence was at 56 percent. The Packers were 3-5 and fan confidence was all the way down to 12 percent.
It’s two months later, and both teams are facing off with a potential playoff spot on the line. The Lions have since gone 7-2, the Packers have since gone 5-3, and you could make a solid argument that over that time, the Packers and the Lions have been two of the best teams in the entire NFL.
