The Detroit Lions O-line grades out as the 3rd-best in football this year at opening holes for rushers.The Green Bay Packers safeties project as the 28th-worst safety corps in football this year in regard to run defense.The Green Bay Packers have stacked the box vs. opponents on just 8.8% of their plays since the start of last season, 2nd-least in football. Choosing not to bring an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves pass defense at the expense of run-stopping.The Detroit Lions have elected to go for it on 4th down 27.9% of the time since the start of last season (most in the league), which generally means more offensive volume, more touchdown potential, and higher offensive statistics across the board.
