Stafford has not been picked off in his last two games and on the season has nine touchdowns and only two interceptions.

The Packers have been improved on defense this season but have given up 58 points in their last two games. On the season they rank 14th in the league defending the pass and 24th defending the run.

Green Bay jumped out to a 24-0 lead in their win 34-24 win over the Cowboys last week and while they were outgained 563 yards to 335 yards most of the yards came late with the Dallas furious comeback attempt. On top of that the Packers forced three turnovers on three interceptions and did not commit any.

Aaron Rodgers had a solid game going 22/34 for 238 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. RB Aaron Jones led the team with 75 receiving yards and Davante Adams missed the Cowboys game with a toe injury, after going for 180 receiving yards in the previous game, and he is listed as questionable for this Monday night game.

Aaron Jones also rushed for 107 yards with four TD and averaged 5.6 yards per carry and this was after combining for 40 rushing yards in his previous two games.

The Lions’ defense has not been great on the season ranking 30th against the pass and 20th against the run and they gave up 315 passing yards in their last game. That is not good facing Rodgers in Lambeau this Monday night.
