Allen Park — The Detroit Lions' youth is one of the main reasons why fans and organization alike are excited for the team's future.
But this Sunday night, as the Lions (8-8) travel to Green Bay for a primetime showdown with the NFC North rival Packers (8-8), Detroit will need to show it has indeed grown up in a hurry, as it looks to complete an unthinkable turnaround.
In that sense, the Lions head coach Dan Campbell feels fortunate to be led into this game by Jared Goff. The former Rams quarterback has been in these spots — completed this rise from laughingstock to legit contenders — before.
