It's too early to say the Detroit Lions are at a crossroads when they welcome the Green Bay Packers to Ford Field for a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
But that doesn't mean this game wouldn't be a huge boost for morale inside and outside the locker room.
Detroit's disappointing performance in Week 2 has left a bad and familiar taste in the mouth of its fanbase. And regardless of the quotes coming from Allen Park, the team's psyche would take a hit if they fail in similar fashion against their divisional menace.
Every team in the NFC North is 1-1, and it's highly unlikely that a Week 3 loss is going to cost Detroit the division they haven't won since Mel Gibson was chasing down Redcoats. Yet, in-division record is the second tiebreaker after head-to-head results, so there is a leg up to be taken against the reigning champ.
This isn't a must-win, but it is a must-watch, so click through to find out everything you need to know ahead of Sunday's showdown.
