What five keys are there for Detroit Lions to be able to knock off the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field?

The Detroit Lions are sitting at 11-4 and are in first place in the NFC North division, but they have a winner-take all matchup with the Green Bay Packers in Week 17. Unfortunately for the Lions, the game is at Lambeau Field and will be a very difficult game to come away with a win from.

Green Bay has played extremely well at home, and is currently undefeated at Lambeau. Aaron Rodgers has been playing at an unbelievable level so far this season, and the Lions are going to have to figure out a way to stop their offense once again. They were able to do it earlier this season in a 19-7 win over the Packers in Detroit, but it won’t be as easy on the road.

That being said, this game is going to be a close one no matter who ends up winning. Neither team is going to blow the other out in this type of a rivalry game with extra meaning. Detroit will have their chances to come away with a win, but they have to execute down the stretch in order to get the job done.
