This week in Lions talk
The shows spent the week on the Packers-Lions matchup, which everyone's treating as a huge divisional game with playoff implications. Detroit's getting healthy with key defensive pieces back, and the talk keeps coming back to whether their excellent offense can overcome a porous pass defense that's been exploited all season. Green Bay's got Jordan Love playing at a high level against a secondary that's been a real weakness for the Lions.
