Fans are traveling an average of 250 miles to witness a game that has significant implications for postseason seeding.
Matt LaFleur, the Green Bay Packers' head coach, is looking to continue their winning streak against the Detroit Lions. Despite Dan Campbell's 5-2 record against the Packers since becoming the Lions' coach, Jared Goff and the Lions will have a tough challenge against Jordan Love and the Packers' defense. The Packers have a three-game winning streak entering the game, but Detroit's impressive 11-1 record makes this a closely contested match between Matt LaFleur and Dan Campbell's teams.
