In the NFC, the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers have developed a storied rivalry.
The two teams, who are division rivals in the NFC North, have engaged in many fierce football games. However, the Lions have won the rivalry in recent years.
The Lions have faced the Packers six times and are 4-2 since Dan Campbell became head coach. In 2023, the two teams drew their meetings, with both winning away from home.
They both made it to the postseason and emerged victorious in at least one game.
The Lions were defeated in the NFC Championship game, and Green Bay was eliminated in the Divisional Round.The Lions will be the team to beat the next season after winning the Division title in 2023 for the first time in thirty years.
But general manager Brian Gutekunst made a joke about the Lions’ decision to display a banner honoring their 2023 Division win during his media availability at the NFL Combine. According to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Gutekunst stated, “Around here, we’ve never hung banners for division championships, so it’s never been about that.” “It’s a nice starting point, but I think we’re always looking for better things.”
The Packers have just finished an NFC North winning streak. Green Bay have won 12 of the 20 division titles between 2002 and 2021. The Lions, on the other hand, have made a strong claim to eventually owning the division.
