The best — and practically speaking, the last — chance for the Green Bay Packers to get back in the race for the NFC North division title arrives on Thursday night. The Packers are in Detroit to face the Lions, who lead the division hold a head-to-head win in their first meeting with the Packers at Lambeau Field in week 9.
With the Packers trailing the Lions by two games with five to go, this game is essentially do-or-die for the team’s division title hopes. A Packers loss would mean that they would need to win in each of their last four games and that the Lions must lose four in a row to close the season to even have a shot at the division.
