No one expected that victory could become a topic, while failure could become a topic, but the Detroit Lions indeed became the darling of the media.

However, such "poisoning" is a shame that no team wants.

If the deterioration is just to compete for the No. 1 pick in the draft, then the Detroit Lions have no reason to lose, because after losing in the 15th week of the regular season, they have already led the Kansas Chiefs and the St. Louis Rams, and are the first to "grab" the No. 1 pick next year.

Now, for the Detroit Lions, the last game is already about the season and has nothing to do with the future. Of course, they can just deal with it casually and lose the game. There is no need to mess around with the winner or lose. But the problem is that if they lose this game, they will be "nailed" on the pillar of shame.

"The only team in the league that lost all sixteen games."

Such a label will be firmly recorded in history with the team and the players, and will be passed down forever; and it will be written after the New England Patriots have just achieved a season where the record is complete, and I am afraid this will become a unique landscape in the league.

No one likes such a "name".

It is worth mentioning that in the 15th week of the regular season, the Detroit Lions played against the New Orleans Saints at home, but were tragically battered by Sean Payne and Drew Brees. The "42:7" score created the team's third highest loss difference this season. At the end of the game, the whole game booed.

Compared to losing, the anger of home fans is more from the team's "giving up". The loss is bitter enough, and the listlessness of the players and the team is a more fatal blow. The sky above Ford's court was filled with huge boos, expressing their strong dissatisfaction with practical actions.

The fans who never leave each other just watched the team they loved for their lives slide into the abyss. The despair and anger are indescribable.

Therefore, the last game that has nothing to do with victory or defeat has given more meaning, not about the season, not about honor, not about the future, but just about belief.

All Detroit Lions fans are looking forward to the team fighting at the last moment, no matter win or lose, at least they can bring hope in their mental outlook. What's more, their opponent in the last game was the Green Bay Packers in the same zone, and the significance of the game is even more extraordinary.

The Green Bay Packers' final battle in the 2008 regular season came in this context.

Looking back at the opening of the season, when the season just opened, the second week of the regular season, the Green Bay Packers challenged the Detroit Lions away. That game was full of sparks. The final score was "57:21" and you can feel the strong firepower of both sides on the offensive end. Star players of the offensive teams of the two teams performed very well.

At that time, Lu Yiqi was still a "rise star"; and now... Lu Yiqi is still a "rise star". This is his first season after all, and the star is still a new star. However, after a season of ups and downs, the Green Bay Packers are gradually completing transformation, and both offense and defense have shown progress.

Especially on the defensive end.

Although the Green Bay Packers ranked first in the league in terms of scoring per game, and the defense at the bottom of the Detroit Lions League should be able to gain many advantages; but because the ground offense dragged the back, the Green Bay Packers' offense was not without loopholes, which can be seen last week's game against the Chicago Bears.

Relatively speaking, the progress and growth of the Green Bay Packers defensive team in the second half of the season is obvious to all. Although their performance is still not stable and their state is very obvious, the improvement of overall strength has been unanimously praised, and the pressure ability of the defensive frontline is gradually completing the transformation, and the future is promising.

It is precisely because of this that "inside the league" fell to the ground and believed that there was no suspense in this game.

Although the Detroit Lions fight for honor and belief, although the Detroit Lions will definitely not be lenient when facing their mortal enemies, and although the Detroit Lions are very, very happy to extinguish the playoff hopes of the mortal enemies in the same zone at the last moment... Despite this, professional analysts and commentators still chose the Green Bay Packers.

“10:0”.

All ten analysts and commentators of ESPN's professional program all believe that the Green Bay Packers can win, and even Matt Washington, who always plays a peacemaker, is no exception.

Matt Washington often likes to think carefully, "This is also an influencing factor", "This may also lead to different results", "After all, you need to look at the on-the-spot performance", "There may not be no possibility of winning", "There are some adverse situations"... and so on, he always likes to add some suspense to the game.

To put it nicely, that is a comprehensive consideration; to put it bluntly, that is moderate and conservative.

But this time, Washington also said during the game analysis:

"Coach Marinelli of the Detroit Lions will definitely go all out to avoid adding such an embarrassing record to his career resume; but when facing the Green Bay Packers who are fully committed to the playoffs, they don't have much chance, and Coach Archie will never underestimate such a game."

Facts prove this.

After defeating the Chicago Bears on Monday night, the Green Bay Packers were low-key and focused on preparing for the last game, and all the attention of the news media was concentrated on Lu Yiqi, which also provided the players with a relatively quiet preparation atmosphere - even Al Harris, who should have been the focus, was completely forgotten, and the reporters seemed to have completely forgotten their original intention to go to the hospital.

The team maintains a relaxed mindset, maintains orderly training, ensures a cautious attitude, and devotes itself to the preparation rhythm.

All the games in the last week of the regular season were played on Sunday, only divided into morning and afternoon games, and there were no night games.

In order to avoid the appearance of tacit understanding, all the AFC games were played in the morning and all the National League games were played in the afternoon.

At 105 pm Eastern Time, all NFC games blew the opening whistle, opening the final battle between the playoffs and the deputy squad leader.

The Green Bay Packers, who were in the Blue Castle Stadium, welcomed the final life-and-death battle of the season, guessed the coin and chose to take the lead in attacking with confidence.

Amid the cheering of 80,000 players in the game, the Green Bay Packers' first wave of offense showed a determined attitude towards victory. The high-rise pass attack was not unexpected, but the overall speed-up attack caught the Detroit Lions off guard.

Frequently opening up the situation with short passes, fake runs and real passes, screen short passes, quick short passes, reading options and other offensive tactics make short passes dazzling.
