What has changed since first Packers vs. Lions meeting?
The Green Bay Packers fell behind 17-3 after a pick-six from Kerby Joseph before the half, were down 24-3 early in the second half and eventually lost 24-14 to the Detroit Lions at a rain-soaked Lambeau Field on Nov. 3 — a defeat that dropped Matt LaFleur’s team to 6-3 going into the bye week.
The Packers and Lions will do the rematch on Thursday night at Ford Field. Since Nov. 3, the Packers have won three straight games to get to 9-3, while the Lions have continued their now 10-game win streak and are 11-1.
The pivotal showdown is the Packers’ last hope for making a run at the NFC North title and a big chance for LaFleur’s team to prove they are one of the true Super Bowl contenders.
