For a fairly long time it was safe to assume the Packers could just roll out the football and more or less expect to beat the Lions, but that’s no longer the case. The Packers have lost three straight to the Lions and seven of their last 12 dating back to the start of the 2017 season.
It’s been a rough go against the Lions, to say the least, and as Detroit’s star continues to rise, the going may only get tougher. Are the Detroit Lions a great team? No, not necessarily, but they’re talented, tenacious, and a little bit unhinged, all of which comes together in a dangerous package.
