The Packers lost to the Lions 15-9 in Detroit on Nov. 6, but enter Sunday’s matchup riding a four-game winning streak. The Lions have won four of their last five games and are coming off a 41-10 blowout win over the Bears.
The stakes for the game could not be higher. A win for the Packers sends them to the playoffs. A win for the Lions, combined with a Seahawks loss, will send Detroit to the playoffs for the first time since 2016.

The Seahawks take on the Rams earlier in the day on Sunday, meaning the Lions will likely know whether they have a shot at a playoff berth before they even take the field in Green Bay.
Sunday Night Football kicks off at 7:20 p.m. CT on NBC.
