Is it better that Detroit wins, or Green Bay? Tie? lol

i think it's actually better that GB wins to keep them further from a top draft pick. whether they will win is another question...

 

a GB fan's take on it: "Detroit will come out after us. They’ve been in most games, at least putting up a bunch of points. We’d better be ready for a fight or get relegated to the bottom of a weak division by the team that knows a thing or two about the basement."

After trading T.J. Hockenson to the Vikings in one of the more surprising deadline day moves, the Lions were set to face off against the Packers without their leader in reception yards. Detroit's offense didn't come close to the efficiency that had it ranked ninth in points and third in yards coming into Week 9, but the Lions grinded out enough drives and scored when they needed to. That wasn't necessarily surprising as Jared Goff and Co. look to forge an identity without a top-10 tight end on the roster. What was surprising is that Goff's two touchdown passes went to two players at Hockenson's position. Shane Zylstra, who was elevated from the practice squad ahead of the game, caught his first career touchdown to tally the first points for either team with 15 seconds remaining before the half. Not to be outdone, James Mitchell caught the first score of his career to extend Detroit's lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter. It's unlikely to be a winning formula moving forward -- Zylstra and Mitchell both only logged one other catch combined -- but it's nice wrinkle in the aftermath of a big trade.
