4. Make Detroit one dimensional

It’s critical for the offense to get off to a fast start and force the Lions to become a one-dimensional team. Green Bay has struggled to consistently stop the run this season and they can’t allow Detroit to rely on their running game throughout the entire contest, especially with the likely return of D’Andre Swift.

If Green Bay can get some points on the board early and pressure Detroit to keep up with them, good things will happen. The Lions are missing their top wide receiver in Kenny Golladay and Matthew Stafford has nine interceptions on the season. That could open up some more turnover possibilities for this defense.
