After its best performance of the season in a 45-21 win at the Arizona Cardinals, the Detroit Lions (3-2) return to action following their bye with a pivotal home date against the Green Bay Packers (4-2).
It's the first NFC North matchup of the season for the Lions, and it's a game that Detroit desperately needs to get.
The NFC North is one of just two divisions in the NFL where every team currently has a winning record. The Minnesota Vikings (5-0) currently sit atop the NFC North standings as one of the league's three remaining unbeatens.
"It’s pretty exciting,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Monday. “It feels like it’s been a while. … You feel like everybody else has played each other and we haven’t had a chance to play anybody in our division yet. So, this is exciting to be able to open up with our division. Obviously, at home against a really good opponent who’s playing really good football right now. That’s exciting. So, we’ll be ready to go. This will be fun."
As kickoff nears, here's where Lions fans can watch Detroit host the Green Bay Packers:
