Lions vs. Packers: Game info, time, stream, channel and more

The Detroit Lions would like to go into their bye week with a big win. Here’s what you need to know about their upcoming battle with the Green Bay Packers.

The Detroit Lions head into Week Five with a sour record of 1-3. But the Pride could easily be 3-1 if a couple plays go their way against the San Francisco 49ers in Week Two and against the Dallas Cowboys last weekend.

Detroit is set to welcome the 2-1-1 Green Bay Packers on Sunday to Ford Field. The Lions first matchup against their divisional foes comes at a critical time in Motown’s season. The Motor City could really use a win going into their Week Six bye.

The Lions possess the 13th ranked offense in the NFL, 12th through the air, and 20th on the ground. While Green Bay’s defense ranks seventh in overall defense. The Packers have the eighth best passing defense and are 16th against the rush.

Still learning new head coach Matt Patricia’s multiple scheme, Detroit actually ranks ninth in total defense going into this matchup. The Lions are third in the NFL against the pass. But against the run, they are the worst defense in the league. The Packers’ offense ranks 18th overall, 16th in the passing game and 19th in the running game.
