"The task of the Lions continuing that streak was made more difficult last week when the Packers struck a stunning trade with the Dallas Cowboys for edge rusher Micah Parsons. Green Bay's acquisition of the four-time Pro Bowler and two-time first-team All-Pro is seen as a move that could put the Packers over the top in their quest to avoid yet more playoff heartbreak and win the Super Bowl for the first time since the 2010 season."
"It remains to be seen in what capacity and how many snaps Parsons will play Week 1, but a potential battle with Lions right tackle Penei Sewell is a true heavyweight clash that could have an outsized impact on the outcome. The Lions cannot afford to have Parsons and the Green Bay defense derail their high-powered offense, but the Packers will also have concerns about going against a stud pass rusher, with Aidan Hutchinson set to make his return for Detroit."
Green Bay opens the 2025 season at Lambeau Field against Detroit in an NFC North matchup with both teams holding Super Bowl aspirations. The Packers lost in last season's Wild Card Round to the eventual champion Philadelphia Eagles. The Lions entered last postseason as the NFC's one seed but were upset at home by Washington. The NFC North is considered one of the league's strongest divisions. Detroit coach Dan Campbell expressed enthusiasm about playing at Lambeau. Green Bay acquired edge rusher Micah Parsons from the Cowboys, while Detroit expects Aidan Hutchinson to return from a fractured tibia and fibula.
