Overview
- The Packers leaned into a vertical passing game that has Jordan Love leading the NFL in yards on throws of 10+ air yards, per Next Gen Stats.
- Lions coach Dan Campbell called Love the team’s “secret sauce,” warning that Love’s touch to Christian Watson and Matthew Golden creates matchup problems for Detroit.
- Green Bay placed Jordan Love, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden on its Week 7 injury report as limited participants after a Wednesday walk-through, and Love said he expects to play despite a sore back.
- Running back Josh Jacobs returned to practice this week but his game-day status for Sunday remains unclear, and veteran Tyrod Taylor is the Packers’ primary rostered backup if Love can’t go.
- Detroit’s defense has allowed the most passing yards per game and a very high passer rating on downfield throws, a matchup detail that could amplify roster and play-call decisions on Sunday.
