4. “We have to keep getting better in the run game,” Packers tight end Tucker Kraft said. “Especially with Detroit (Sunday). We have to continue to lean on our run game.”

The Packers’ 1,255 rushing yards on the season are the most by the franchise in eight games since 1971. Green Bay has 28 explosive runs (12+ yards), which is third-most in the NFL.

5. Packers running back Josh Jacobs said Detroit’s defense is very physical and can fly around as a unit.

“They have a lot of guys who have played a lot at a high level,” he said. “It will be one of those games, a kind of play-offs, and we will see how it goes.”

6. LaFleur called the Lions “arguably the best team in the NFL” when previewing Sunday’s game.

“They’re really good,” he said. “We knew that going into the year. It’s not shocking to me. It’s a team that we’re obviously very familiar with and we’re going to have to play at our best. It all starts with the preparation. We’re going to have to be a great have a practice week.”

7. Lions safeties Kerby Joseph (5) and Brian Branch (4) have combined for nine interceptions and LaFleur has been very impressed with the way Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn uses them both in his scheme.

“They’re doing a great job replacing their cut and crossers, they’re doing really well with that,” he said. “Playing with vision on the quarterback. I just think they have smart football players and they allow them and put them in good positions and they make plays.”
