Given their underlying play style and game dynamics, the Packers are predicted by our trusted projection set to run only 62.1 plays on offense in this game: the 3rd-fewest among all teams this week.The 5th-smallest volume of plays in football have been run by the Green Bay Packers last year (just 55.7 per game on average).Opposing offenses have completed passes at the 2nd-lowest rate in the NFL against the Detroit Lions defense last year (66.9% Adjusted Completion%).Last year, the daunting Detroit Lions defense has allowed a mere 1.18 passing TDs per game to opposing QBs: the 4th-smallest rate in football.As it relates to safeties in defending pass-catchers, Detroit's collection of safeties has been exceptional last year, grading out as the best in the league.
