When the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions meet, it usually ends with a Packers victory.
In addition to the overall one-sidedness of the matchup, recent history has also been very kind to Aaron Rodgers and Co. when they take the field opposite the Lions. Green Bay has rung off four straight wins against Detroit, dating back to 2019, and looks to make it five in a row when the teams face off at Lambeau Field for "Monday Night Football."
Both teams are coming off season-opening losses and will be highly motivated to get into the win column, especially against a divisional foe. Not all results are equal, however, and it's the Packers who should be more desperate for a good bounce-back performance as they were pummeled 38-3 in Week 1 by the New Orleans Saints.
Opening week was also a defeat for Detroit, but there was much more to build on in the Lions' 41-33 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Week 1 was the debut of Jared Goff in Lions colors, in which the 26-year-old had a decent performance. Goff was 38 of 57 with 338 yards and three touchdowns, but his lone interception was a pick-six.
All in all, it was a learning experience for Goff and his new teammates, and he already has an idea of how to improve against the Packers.
“Just go back to the fundamentals,” Goff said, as quoted by the Detroit Free Press. “Like I said, be efficient on first and second down, take care of the football, move the ball down the field and watch our defense fly around out there and hopefully good results will come.”
