Detroit Lions news: 2024 NFL Combine, Day 2 roundup
Did the Packers' general manager take a shot at the Lions?
After Lions' fans took over Lambeau Field for a Thursday night game in Week 4 last season, we got a glimpse at how thinned-skinned that organization (and parts of the fanbase) can be.
During his media availability at the combine on Tuesday, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst appeared to take a shot at the Lions for hanging a banner to acknowledge their division title.
Brian Gutekunst was asked today about chasing the Lions: "Around here, we’ve never hung banners for division championships, so it’s never been about that. It’s a nice starting point, but I think we’re always looking for bigger things."

Yes, Mr. Gutekunst, we know division titles are not what you shoot for in Green Bay. But you also had 30 years of continuous Hall of Fame-level quarterbacking, and won two Super Bowls. And the Lions current regime is 4-2 against you, so there's that.
Brad Holmes also spoke to reporters in Indianapolis
