After trading away T.J. Hockenson and firing defensive backs coach Aubrey Pleasant during the middle of last week, the Detroit Lions needed some sort of a spark, and boy, did they ever provide one yesterday afternoon in front of the home faithful against the hated Aaron Rodgers and those Green Bay Packers.
The 2-6 Lions look to build on yesterday’s win and develop a possible winning streak as they hit the road to Soldier Field for a 1 pm kickoff this Sunday against another NFC North rival in the 3-6 Chicago Bears.
