Last season, the Detroit Lions’ shocked the world with a Week 18 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The upset eliminated the Packers from the playoff contention and altered the course of both franchises. After the loss, Aaron Rodgers declined a jersey swap, adding fuel to the speculation that he played his last home game at Lambeau Field. A few months later, Rodgers was a New York Jet, as Green Bay entered a new era with Jordan Love as the starting quarterback.
Many looked back at that last season's Week 18 upset by the Lions as a passing of the torch in the NFC North.
