Who is playing Thursday night football? Live stream Packers-Lions, how to watch online, TV, time
The Detroit Lions visit Lambeau Field on Thursday, Sept. 28, to face the Green Bay Packers. The game will be live streamed on Amazon Prime Video (30-day free trial).
When the Lions previously visited, they knocked Green Bay out of playoff contention in what turned out to be Aaron Rodgers’ final game in a Packers uniform.
Nearly nine months later, the Lions return with a chance to solidify themselves as NFC North favorites by beating the division’s traditional heavyweight for a fourth consecutive time.
The Lions (2-1) and Packers (2-1) head into this Thursday night showdown tied for first place in the NFC North. The division’s only other two teams are the winless Chicago Bears (0-3) and Minnesota Vikings (0-3).
Thursday’s winner gets the early edge.
Although Green Bay has an 105-75-7 edge in its series with Detroit, the Lions have won the past three matchups. In the final week of the 2022 season, the Lions won 20-16 at Green Bay to prevent the Packers from reaching the playoffs.
Rodgers is now with the New York Jets and recovering from a torn Achilles tendon while Joran Love leads a Packers offense featuring plenty of rookies and second-year pros at wide receiver.
These new Packers will attempt to build on the momentum they established Sunday when they produced one of the biggest comebacks in franchise history, scoring 18 unanswered points in the final 11 minutes of an 18-17 victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Detroit is coming off a 20-6 triumph over the Atlanta Falcons, who had beaten the Packers 25-24 a week earlier.
