How to watch Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers: TV, live stream info for tonight’s Sunday Night Football game

By Mary OmatigaJan 8, 2023, 6:00 PM EST

It’s the Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers tonight on Sunday Night Football as the two teams go head-to-head for the final NFC Wild Card spot in a must-win, regular season finale you won’t want to miss. Live coverage begins at 7:00 p.m. ET with Football Night in America on NBC and Peacock.

Detroit Lions

Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions (8-8) demolished the Chicago Bears with a 41-10 win at home last Sunday afternoon to keep Detroit’s playoff chances alive. Goff completed 21-of-29 for 255 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions while RB Jamaal Williams rushed 22 times for 144 yards and a touchdown in the win. The Lions, who have not made the playoffs since 2016, can secure a spot in the postseason with a win against the Packers on Sunday night and will need the Seattle Seahawks (8-8) to lose their game against the LA Rams on Sunday (4:25 PM ET).

The Lions have not won a division title since 1993 or a playoff game since the 1991 season. Additionally, since firing former head coach Jim Caldwell after the 2017 season, the Lions have finished last in the NFC North in each of the last 4 seasons, losing over 10 games each time.

Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (8-8) pulled off a dominant 41-17 win over the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday. Rodgers went 15-of-24 for 159 passing yards and a touchdown and also added one rush for two yards and a touchdown. RB A.J. Dillon, TE Robert Tonyan, DB Keisean Nixon, and safety Darnell Savage all scored touchdowns in Sunday’s victory. A win for the Packers on Sunday night would mark the team’s 4th straight playoff appearance.

The Lions and Packers met earlier this season in Week 9 at Ford Field where Detroit won 15-9.

NFL quarterback rankings 2023: Chris Simms’ top 40 QB countdown ahead of upcoming NFL season

By Annie CoryJun 7, 2023, 12:00 PM EDT

While the NFL is a league that is ever-changing, some things are set to stay the same in 2023 — like the revealing of Chris Simms’ top 40 QB countdown.

Last year’s list saw Josh Allen take his place atop the quarterback throne, with Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Los Angeles’ Justin Herbert not far behind at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively. It was, however, Mahomes who would ultimately reign over all NFL quarterbacks at the end of the season, as the 27-year-old collected both the NFL MVP honors and his second Lombardi Trophy.

This NFL offseason, however, has brought some intriguing adjustments that are likely to shake up Simms’ rankings.

While some signal-callers such as Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson found their prolonged home with massive contract signings, others will be venturing to a new franchise in search of a fresh start. Aaron Rodgers‘ trade to the New York Jets is unquestionably the most staggering shift, but other quarterbacks on the move such as Derek Carr and Jimmy Garoppolo cannot be forgotten.

And with three of the first four picks in the 2023 NFL Draft being spent on a quarterback, emerging talent will likely turn the tides for some franchises this upcoming season.

See below for Chris Simms’ top 40 QB countdown ahead of the upcoming season.
