The Green Bay Packers (13-3) will finish off the 2021 regular season with a trip to Detroit to play the Lions (2-13-1) on Sunday at Ford Field.
The Packers beat the Minnesota Vikings last week and have already clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC, but coach Matt LaFleur is planning on playing starters for at least part of the game.
In the first meeting this season, the Packers beat the Lions by 18 points in Week 2 at Lambeau Field. Green Bay has won five straight meetings, including each of the last two at Ford Field.
With a win on Sunday, the Packers can improve to 40-9 over the last three regular seasons.
