The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions meet on Monday Night Football. Here’s how to watch.

After a successful road trip to their home away from home last week, the Green Bay Packers return to Lambeau Field to take on a team they haven’t beaten in almost three years.

The Packers have made a fast start to the 2019 season, but they’ll be tested by a Detroit Lions team that is perhaps better than its 2-1-1 record suggests.

Here’s how you can watch the game:

Date: Monday, Oct. 14
Kickoff time: 7:15 p.m. CT
Location: Green Bay, WI
Stadium: Lambeau Field
TV channel: ESPN
Live stream: ESPN 3/Watch ESPN, fuboTV

The Lions should’ve won their Week 1 game against the Arizona Cardinals before throwing away a lead in the fourth quarter to tie the game. They then picked up impressive victories against the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles before losing a close game to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Maybe this Lions team is better than predicted in 2019. Maybe not.

We’ll learn a lot about both the Packers and Lions in this game. For Detroit, it’s an opportunity to win a fifth straight against Green Bay and move into first place of the NFC North.

For the Packers, a win would put some distance between themselves and the Lions in the standings, and potentially also the Vikings if they lose on Sunday. A win would also mean Matt LaFleur’s team would improve to a perfect 3-0 in the division with three to play.

Both teams have some key injuries entering this game. We know Davante Adams will be out for a second week for the Packers, and Mike Daniels won’t get a chance to play against his former team as he’s out for the Lions.

The Packers will also be without Darnell Savage and likely Tony Brown.

For the Lions, cornerback Darius Slay is questionable, and defensive linemen Da’Shawn Hand and A’Shawn Robinson are also questionable.

Which team will be in first place of the NFC North after Monday Night Football?
