The Detroit Lions have plenty to fight for on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers. While their opponents have already secured the No. 1 seed in the NFC and it's likely they'll be resting some of the starters, the Lions can still play for better playoff positioning heading into the wild card round. Winning or losing means the difference between playing one of the San Francisco 49ers or New Orleans Saints and one of the Dallas Cowboys or New York Giants.
Both of the two teams they'd play if they lost have already beat them this season, so needless to say, the Lions will be looking for a win on Sunday. It really all comes down to how many of Green Bay's players will rest - especially quarterback Aaron Rodgers. All three quarterbacks on their depth chart have been getting work this week, but it's unclear how much Rodgers plays, if at all.
