The Green Bay Packers have done little over the last few weeks to instill faith in observers that they are a good team capable of rebounding from their recent skid, and they will likely be underdogs in many of their upcoming games. However, this week is an exception, as the team is playing opponents who have been even more disappointing, particularly on defense.
The Detroit Lions are just 1-6 on the season, and despite having an offense that has been explosive (at times), they have the league’s worst defense. In fact, this isn’t just a bad defense in 2022, it’s a historically bad one in recent memory, a tall task in an NFL environment that has been conducive to good defensive play this season.
