Packers vs Lions injury report and team news
Green Bay has run for 359 yards at 2.87 a carry, the lowest figures in the NFL.
Detroit has recorded 20 sacks, more than any team in the league.
Jared Goff has thrown 12 touchdown passes and no interceptions in five games.
No ground game, into the league’s best pass rush
Three hundred and fifty-nine rushing yards at 2.87 a carry. No team in the NFL is close to that, and it means Green Bay is one-dimensional against a front with 20 sacks.
Detroit’s own numbers are strange: 20 touchdowns scored and 20 conceded, a 111.3 passer rating, and a defence that lets opponents convert 50.7% on third down.
Green Bay’s answer is a pass defence allowing 73.9, the third-best rate in football. If Goff is made ordinary, the Packers can win this without running it at all.
Players to watch
- Jordan Love (GB, QB): 1,684 yards and 11 scores from six games.
- Christian Watson (GB, WR): A primary target in an attack with no ground game.
- Jared Goff (DET, QB): Twelve touchdown passes and no interceptions at 111.3.
- Jahmyr Gibbs (DET, RB): Fronts a ground game at 4.39 a carry.
