Matt Patricia “more nervous” about facing Aaron Rodgers after beating him

The Detroit Lions will face the Green Bay Packers on Monday night for the first of two meetings with their NFC North division rival this season.

Last year, the Lions beat the Packers in both of their meetings. A 31-23 win in October came against Aaron Rodgers while a 31-0 win in Week 17 came mostly against DeShone Kizer at quarterback as Rodgers was knocked out of the game with a concussion after just nine snaps.

Lions head coach Matt Patricia knows the challenge that Rodgers presents and isn’t exactly eager about facing him knowing his team got the better of Rodgers last season.
