Detroit Lions fans typically have little to look forward to when the Lions travel to the other side of Lake Michigan to face the Green Bay Packers. After all, Jason Hanson played 22 seasons in Detroit and never won a game in the state of Wisconsin.
But the 2015 Detroit Lions broke the 24-year drought, and the team had the Packers swept last year if not for Jim Caldwell’s coaching malpractice on the Hail Mary.
Can this year’s Lions continue the strong play against the Packers? It seems daunting with Ziggy Ansah and DeAndre Levy both out, but there are still reasons for optimism the Detroit Lions can pull the road upset.
