Packers vs Lions Preview
The Packers have the No. 1 in the NFC wrapped up while the Detroit Lions are headed for a high draft pick.
Detroit could grab the No. 1 pick in the draft with a loss and a Jacksonville (2-14) loss on Sunday. The Jaguars play a postseason-hungry Indianapolis Colts team (9-7).
Lions head coach Dan Campbell didn’t sound a like someone who wants his team to slide into that No. 1 pick though. That’s the case even if the Packers sit starters.
“Look, I know what that’s like,” Campbell said via Yahoo! Sports. “We would go through that where I just came from (the New Orleans Saints). There was a couple of different scenarios as how much do you play your guys? Do you not? Is there a rust factor? Is there a rhythm factor? Is there all those things? They’ll play that by ear, but as far as we’re concerned, we got to be ready to play their very best and that’s how we’ve been preparing.”
Lions quarterback Jared Goff may play against the Packers. Goff sustained a knee injury, which sidelined him the past two games.
“He got back in a rhythm Wednesday,” Campbell told reporters per Yahoo! Sports. “I thought yesterday he looked even better and we expect him to continue to improve today so I think we’ll see Goff this weekend.”
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will likely start the game in the interest of not being rusty for the NFC Divisional Round in two weeks. Rodgers has another MVP-caliber season going with 3,977 yards, 35 touchdowns versus four interceptions, and a 68.6% completion rate.
“I don’t think he needs to play,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said per ESPN’s Rob Demovsky. “I think he wants to play and keep the momentum going.”
The Packers are planning to start Aaron Rodgers on Sunday and then LaFleur will see how the game goes.
“I don’t think he needs to play. I think he wants to play and keep the momentum going.”
Green Bay has the momentum going of late with five consecutive wins. The Lions started the season 0-10-1 before finally nabbing a win against the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 5.
Since, the Lions stunned the Arizona Cardinals 30-12 on Dec. 19 and gave the Atlanta Falcons a tough game in a 20-16 loss on Dec. 26. Campbell believes better days are ahead for the Lions despite another cellar-dweller season in the NFC North.
“I kind of said this before — I see it like this— I told (principal owner and chair) Sheila (Ford Hamp) this the other day and really the team, but we’ve kind of been — we’re in the Arctic Ocean, but we’re headed to the Caribbean,” Campbell told reporters on Jan. 7 via Sports Illustrated’s All Lions. “You can see it, I can see it. It’s not always easy to see. There’s a long way to go, but we’re heading there, I do know that.”
