After reviving their season with three straight wins, including back-to-back victories at Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers will go back on the road to play the Detroit Lions at Ford Field in Sunday's featured late afternoon game. Matt LaFleur's team swept the Lions last season, including a dramatic win in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. Can the Packers keep the win streak going on the road against the high-scoring Lions, who are coming off the bye week?

Here's a closer look at the Lions entering Week 7:

Last week

Dan Campbell's team is coming out of the bye week following a 3-2 start during the first five games. The Lions cruised past the Arizona Cardinals, 45-21, in Week 5. Entering Week 7, the Lions rank second in the NFL in points per game (32.8) and 30th in points per game allowed (29.8). Against the Cardinals, the Lions fell behind 7-0 but then scored 31 straight points, and Detroit led 45-14 deep into the fourth quarter. Jared Goff threw three touchdown passes, Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 151 yards and two scores, Jameson Williams caught two touchdown passes, the Lions converted all four fourth down opportunities, and the defense sacked Jacoby Brissett five times.

Newcomers

The Lions offensive line features two new starters: veteran Juice Scruggs at center, and rookie first-round pick Blake Miller at right tackle. Both have been good to start 2026. On the defensive side, the Lions added edge rusher DJ Wonnum, safeties Chuck Clark and Christian Izien and slot cornerback Roger McCreary, while rookie draft picks Skyler Gill-Howard, Derrick Moore and Keith Abney are all playing roles.

Quarterback play

Veteran Jared Goff is having an excellent season through five games. He's completed 67.0 percent of passes, averaged 7.8 yards per pass and thrown 12 touchdown passes without an interception -- good for a passer rating of 111.3. Goff is the only quarterback in football with six or more touchdown passes and no interceptions to start 2026. He's throwing the ball further down field this season, with an average depth of target at 8.8 yards -- almost two full yards further than last season. Goff has been sacked 11 times and had eight passes batted down, but he's been good against pressure this season, completing 50 percent of his passes and averaging 7.1 yards per attempt without a "turnover worthy play" when pressured.

Injury situation

Two injury situations to watch for the Lions this week: defensive back Brian Branch and center Cade Mays are both expected back from injured reserve. Safety Kerby Joseph is on the PUP list and won't play, and cornerback Avonte Maddox, running back Isiah Pacheco, offensive lineman Ben Bartch and linebackers Devin White and Damone Clark are among those on injured reserve. Cornerback Rock-Ya Sin didn't play in Week 4 due to a hamstring injury. Check the first injury reports coming out later Wednesday.
