Packers who will make or break game: Zach Tom/Yosh Nijman

It’s unclear whether Zach Tom or Yosh Nijman will start at right tackle on Sunday. Nijman went down with an injury last week and Tom stepped up in his steed. Both players are legitimate right tackles.

The Lions love to send pressure and get after the quarterback. Communication and pass-blocking on the outside will be key elements to keep Rodgers upright to find open receivers in time. Aidan Hutchinson and his 7.5 sacks will be another element to contend with on the right side.
