Despite securing the top seed in the NFC last week with a win at home over the Minnesota Vikings, Packers coach Matt LaFleur has indicated that he intends to play his starters for this game against Detroit Lions.
After last week’s win, many expected QB Jordan Love’s performance to be the spotlight today. However, it is still uncertain how much playtime LaFleur will give his starters(quotes via ESPN):
It’s important to keep the momentum going. Every time we step out on that field, whether it is a preseason game or in your eyes a nonmeaningful game, our guys go out there with that mentality that we want to win, and we’re going to do everything in our power to win and we’re going to compete at the highest level.
