The Detroit Lions are 6-1. The Green Bay Packers are 6-2. Who has the advantage in this huge NFC North showdown? Here is a look at the matchups.
The Green Bay Packers will be playing for first place in the NFC North on Sunday, with the Detroit Lions invading Lambeau Field and looking every bit like a juggernaut.Their special teams showed off their prowess in Sunday’s blowout against Tennessee Titans.
Safety Evan Williams left the game with a hamstring injury and cornerback Jaire Alexander sustained a knee injury on the final defensive snap. Their ability for Sunday is in question. If there is such a thing as an MVP candidate in late October, Goff may be the leader in the clubhouse. A week after tormenting Houston’s C.J. Stroud at Lambeau Field, they allowed Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence to throw for more than 300 yards.The Lions call Jahmyr Gibbs, part of their two-headed monster at running back, Sonic.He’s accompanied in the backfield by a sledgehammer, David Montgomery.
Willis has been a godsend. Would they be in position to take first place in the NFC North without him?Willis has been every bit as impressive as LaFleur described following Sunday’s win, when he replaced Love early in the third quarter and led the game-winning drive. The Lions are in a bit of a transition rushing the passer. Aidan Hutchinson was a leading candidate for Defensive Player of the Year with 7.5 sacks when he sustained a broken leg on Oct. 13. The Lions have 20 sacks, with Alim McNeill a distant second behind Hutchinson.
