In 2014, the Packers won one for the Limper. Last year, they won with the Miracle in Motown.
Whatever the 175th edition of Green Bay versus Detroit has in store, it’s certain to be the best thing going in the 17th and final week of the 2016 regular season.
The winner claims the N.F.C. North, as the Packers did in the 2014 finale, when quarterback Aaron Rodgers played through a calf injury to beat Detroit.
The loser could still make the playoffs as a wild-card team, as the Lions did last season despite blowing a 20-point lead in a late-season loss to Green Bay.
