It’s not often the Detroit Lions get a helping hand from their oldest rival — but that’s exactly what happened this week. The Green Bay Packers, whether they meant to or not, just did the Lions a massive favor ahead of Detroit’s huge Week 11 matchup.
With the NFC North standings tightening up and every win carrying major playoff implications, the Packers’ recent stumble gave the Lions a little breathing room — and possibly some added motivation heading into their primetime clash. Dan Campbell’s squad has been building serious momentum, and with a little “assist” from Green Bay, the path to controlling the division looks even clearer.
It’s the kind of twist that makes football so unpredictable — your rival’s loss becomes your gain. Now, all eyes are on the Lions to see if they can capitalize on the opportunity and prove once again why they’re the team to beat in the NFC North.
