The 2020 season’s 4th Quarter is about to begin. The 9-3 Green Bay Packers hit the final month with a chance to wrap up a playoff spot and NFC North Division title as soon as Sunday when they travel to Ford Field to take on the 5-7 Detroit Lions. By the time they kick off at 3:25 PM CST, they’ll know the result of the Minnesota Vikings-Tampa Bay Buccaneers contest at noon. If the Vikings fall, the Packers can doff division winning caps with a victory.
Head Coach Matt LaFleur wants to make sure his team stays as fresh as possible and conducted only a walk through practice on Wednesday before a more vigorous Thursday practice. He has reason to lighten up after a very physical game against the Philadelphia Eagles left two players with concussions and sent three more to the injured reserve list.
