Packers vs. Lions Week 17: Start time, live stream, TV info and more

Will the Green Bay Packers clinch a first-round bye? Here’s how you can watch Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.

The Green Bay Packers‘ path to the Super Bowl could become much easier should they win against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. They’d be two more victories away from the big game, and with some help from the Seattle Seahawks later in the day, both of those games could be played at Lambeau Field.

But that’s not something the Packers can worry about right now. Their focus will be on getting their 13th win of the season and sixth on the road.

Doing so would give them an NFC North sweep for the season, an incredible accomplishment. Here’s how you can watch to see if they do it:

Date: Sunday, Dec. 29
Kickoff time: 12:00 p.m. CT
Location: Detroit, MI
Stadium: Ford Field
TV channel: FOX
Live stream: fuboTV

This is the fourth year in a row that Green Bay has met Detroit in the final game of the regular season. The past two seasons have gone the Lions’ way. They’ve outscored the Packers 66-11 in those two games, including a 31-0 shutout victory at Lambeau Field last season.

However, Aaron Rodgers didn’t play in the 2017 season finale and left last year’s game with a concussion after attempting only five passes.

It was a different story back in 2016. Both teams had secured a playoff berth but the winner would wrap up the NFC North title. Rodgers led the Packers to a convincing victory at Ford Field to send Green Bay to a division title and home playoff game.

This time, the Lions are out of playoff contention and won’t have starting quarterback Matthew Stafford. Meanwhile, the Packers have already won the NFC North title but have the chance to earn much more on Sunday afternoon.

Green Bay can close out a great regular season with a first-round bye this week. What’s your prediction for the game?
