The Rasan Gary knew it wasn’t any other game.

While Green Bay Packers Defensive End drove to Lambeau Field on Sunday – 4 hours before the start, mind – already felt excitement.

“It was crazy on driving,” Gari said. “Everyone looked ready, everyone was excited. And then I’m pulling and everyone was shouting in the car, such things. I’m like it.

And so it could be the packaging of Green Bay.

Green Bay had one of her most impressive conquests of this decade, beating Detroit visit, 27-13.

In recent years, the lions dominated NFC, winning two straight divisions and lasted 3-0 in the last three trips in Lambeau. But packers dominated the team that has become one of their largest rivals in recent years.

“I don’t know all generations of fans in the packer before me, who they most despise,” said the narrow end of Tucker Kraft. “You can say when you get these two teams on the field, the fire is under our (tails) and we are ready to play a little ball.”

Lions, who went 15-2 in 2024. years, they won six of the last seven games against Green Bay. And after Detroit, Green Bai was defeated, 34-31, at 14. Sunday, last season, many packers talked about wanting to see the lions in the postseason.

It didn’t happen after Green Bay fell in a wild playback card.

Packers waited for them to cut off the NFC with the NFC champion lions, and then used the opportunity to maximally.

“(Exceptionally), it feels bad,” Sean Rhian’s guard said. “I can tell you that. They definitely not feel bad. They are a good team, but I think we just put everyone on warning that someone may have returned.”

Packers won three straight NFC Northern Titles between 2019-2021, at the time and further 15-3 against the division. Green Bay also went to two NFC championship matches and was NFC seeds.

Things turned for the worst, in recent seasons.

Packers were only 8-10 against NFC north of 2022-’24, it ended third in division twice and seconds once.

Then the lions became a bully division, conquering transmission titles on their return.

“For me, I wanted to beat the lions at home,” Kraft said. “I had to do it here in my career here.”

It’s now.

A year ago, the lions led NFL in scoring, average 33.2 points per game. Detroit also ranked a second in the league in the total misdemeanor (409.5).

This night, the defense of Green Bai was the sensation, holding the lions at 246 meters. Detroit also assessed its least points from 7, 2023. years.

The lions arguing them to do the best duo in Jahmir Gibbs and David Montgomery. Packers Limited Gibbs up to 19 hurrys in nine carries (2.1) and held lions to 46 haste as a whole.

Green Bay also had four bags, including one of the recently acquired edges of Mikah Parsons, who made a great influence (three pressure) in his 29 shots.

“We went out with the right way of thinking, we had a lot of energy and we were at our job,” Ksavier McKinney Packers said. “And that’s really all you can look for.”

Offensive, Green Bay scored 17 points on the first three estates and forced the lions to play uphill all night.

“It was a big goal to enter here and go fast,” love said. “I feel like in our previous matches against these guys that we went to some slow start and we put it a lot of goal. And let us go quickly. We’ve emphasized it. They had disappeared in the opening of the plant and achieved it.

Start – and finish.

Packers also performed each other. And in that process they made a monumental statement on Sunday.

“I think people had us like a good team,” Parsons said. “But I don’t think they really understand how well we can be fine.”

McKinney agreed.

“Yes, that’s what I concluded to do it,” McKinney said. “We’ve prepared for all that camp, everything out van. We obviously had a bad taste in the mouth last year, be 0-2.”

For now, packers are 1-0 against lions – and NFC North.

And took their first step toward returning the division.
