If you were hoping to have a nice, normal week to celebrate the Green Bay Packers’ thrilling 4th-quarter comeback victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, think again. Instead of having a full week, the Packers have to turn around and play a game tonight on just three days’ rest as they host the Detroit Lions.
The Packers and Lions are the only teams in the NFC North that have won a game through three weeks of the season, with both teams sitting at 2-1 to open 2023. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings are each 0-3, which means that the winner of tonight’s game will take a commanding early lead in the race for the division title.
