The Packers hosted the then 0-15 Lions in week 17, winning 31-21, ending Detroit’s nightmare winless season. In 2008, the Lions became the first team in NFL history to go 0-16 in a 16-game season. #6: The Packers sealed the deal on the worst record in NFL history. The 43-point margin of victory is the largest ever by either team in the series.
On November 24, 1940, the Packers beat the Lions 50-7, after racing out to a 43-0 lead. #5: Green Bay won the most lopsided game in the rivalry’s history. Hutson made five of his six extra point attempts in the quarter to give him 29 total points in the single quarter, which is an NFL record that also still stands today. The Packers scored six consecutive touchdowns, with Don Hutson hauling in four TD catches. On October 7, 1945, the Packers scored 41 points in one quarter against the Lions, which still stands as the most points ever scored in a single quarter of an NFL game.

The Packers held Barry Sanders to -1 rushing yards. Green Bay emerged victorious for the second consecutive season, winning 16-12. The second playoff matchup between the two franchises occurred on December 31, 1994. Fun fact within a fun fact: this game was the last time Detroit hosted a playoff game. The Packers won the game 28-24, handing the Lions their first ever home playoff loss. On January 8, 1994, the Packers traveled to Detroit to meet for the first time in the playoffs. Green Bay holds a 2-0 advantage over Detroit in their postseason matchups. #3: The teams have faced off only twice in the postseason. Monday night’s matchup will be the 184th game in the rivalry. The Packers lead the all-time series 104-72-7. “Everywhere we go in the community, you know it’s a people giving us well-wishes and that means the world to us,” he said.#2: Green Bay holds a significant advantage in the series. “The D” has become home, but it’s the people and the fans who both cheered and, yes, sometimes booed, who will always hold a special place in his heart. Professionally, Detroit is all Stafford has known. “The fact that they wanted to was huge, and the fact that they were able to, I think you have to give a lot of credit to the Rams organization but also the Lions as well in being creative and figuring out a way to get it done.” “It was honestly, you know, one of the two teams I didn’t think was going to be able to make it happen, if they wanted to even.” he said. He is still surprised at how the trade worked out.
