Packers Have to Limit Big Plays Against Stafford-led Lions

Truthfully, the Green Bay Packers shouldn't have much of a problem with the Detroit Lions on Sunday. To put it simply, they're just the better team, and this Detroit defense will have their hands full with a red-hot Aaron Rodgers. However, I'm sure many of us had these same thoughts a season ago, yet, the Packers would need a pair of Mason Crosby game-winners at the end of regulation.

In recent seasons, the Lions have been a pesky team for the Packers, and with Matthew Stafford under center, they have a very explosive offense. And it is this explosive offense that could make Sunday's game much closer than what it should be, as the Packers haven't shown that they're able to limit the big play consistently.
