Aaron Rodgers is a bad man, and the Detroit Lions are the Detroit Lions. Whether or not those trends continue will play out in Week 2 action on Fox.
Rodgers silenced any critics who thought he may be over the hill by lighting up a Minnesota secondary with 364 yards and four touchdowns in Green Bay's 43-34 opening win. Despite the Packers not adding any weapons to Rodgers' arsenal this offseason and electing to draft a quarterback instead, Rodgers connected with Davante Adams a league-high 14 times for 156 yards. Sunday marks the home opener for Green Bay in the 2020 NFL season, and it will be a strange sight as Lameau Field will be without fans.
The Lions managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the waning moments of their Week 1 loss to Chicago. Detroit led 23-6 late in the third quarter before letting Mitchell Trubisky and the Bears score three-straight touchdowns. Rookie running back D'Andre Swift dropped an easy game-winning touchdown in the final seconds. Of note, the ageless Adrian Peterson rushed for 93 yards on 14 carries in his first game for the Lions in his 13th season.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur is 7-0 against NFC North teams since taking over last season. The Packers had lost four straight to Detroit prior to the coaching change in Green Bay.
