The Green Bay Packers (2-2-1, 1-1-1 NFC North) struggled tremendously against the Detroit Lions (2-3, 1-0 NFC North) Sunday and fell to their division rival 31-23 on the road at Ford Field.
David Michalski breaks down the key matchups for the week 5 Battle in the Motor City and also provides some insight as to why the Packers should be optimistic about turning things around and making a playoff run in November and December.
The Packers were a completely different defense without Micah Parsons last year. If that unit can come together early on, it will allow Parsons to make sure that he will not be rushed back to the field.
