O Detroit Lions recebe o Green Bay Packers para o 23º confronto entre esses dois rivais da NFC North no Thanksgiving. Detroit busca vencer jogos consecutivos no Thanksgiving após derrotar Chicago na última temporada. Eles também buscam empatar a no confronto direto da temporada com os Packers e ultrapassá-los na classificação da NFC North com uma vitória nesta quinta-feira.
Aqui estão cinco coisas para ficar de olho no confronto entre Green Bay Packers e Detroit Lions:
1. A performance de Jahmyr Gibbs
Jahmyr Gibbs conduziu Detroit à vitória na prorrogação domingo contra o New York Giants com 264 jardas de scrimmage e três touchdowns totais. Na temporada, Gibbs é o 1º da NFL em média por corrida (6,14), 2º em touchdowns (13), 3º em jardas terrestres (951) e 4º em jardas de scrimmage (1.330). Ele também tem sido uma parte importante do ataque aéreo de Detroit com 48 recepções no ano.
Detroit teve apenas 46 jardas corridas (média de 2,1) na derrota da Semana 1 em Green Bay. Gibbs ficou limitado a 19 jardas em nove carregadas. Green Bay chega ao confronto de hoje com a sexta melhor defesa contra o jogo terrestre da NFL, permitindo em média 96,5 jardas por jogo correndo com a bola.
2. Limitar Micah Parsons e a linha disruptiva dos Packers
Naquele primeiro duelo em Lambeau Field, a defesa dos Packers sackou o quarterback Jared Goff quatro vezes e o atingiu nove vezes, gerando 19 pressões totais.
O Edge Rusher Micah Parsons registrou um sack naquela partida, sua estreia pelos Packers e tem sido uma adição tremenda à defesa, liderando o time com 10 sacks no ano. Apenas Aidan Hutchinson, de Detroit, tem mais pressões totais na temporada do que Parsons. Parsons joga nos dois lados da linha, mas será especialmente interessante observá-lo quando estiver alinhado contra o Right Tackle All-Pro Penei Sewell, que não permitiu um sack sequer na temporada e cedeu apenas três Quarterback Hits em 11 jogos.
3. Oportunidades na red zone
Uma das grandes diferenças na Semana 1 foi Green Bay aproveitar melhor suas oportunidades na red zone. Detroit foi apenas 1 de 4 na red zone na derrota, enquanto os Packers foram 3 de 5. Isso representa 14 pontos de diferença em um jogo que terminou com vitória dos Packers por 14 pontos. Tanto os Lions quanto os Packers estão entre os líderes da NFL em pontuação na red zone: Green Bay é o 6º (65,9%) e Detroit o 7º (65,1%).
Uma área em que a defesa de Detroit tem tido dificuldades nesta temporada é evitar touchdowns na red zone, ocupando o 25º lugar da liga ao permitir touchdown em 61,1% das vezes em que os adversários entram na linha de 20 jardas. A defesa que conseguir mais paradas críticas na red zone para evitar pontos terá um papel enorme na definição do vencedor neste Thanksgiving.

4. Pressionar Jordan Love
O Quarterback do New York Giants, Jameis Winston, teve um tempo médio de 3,22 segundos para lançar a bola domingo, o segundo maior tempo médio para qualquer quarterback na Semana 12 da NFL. Detroit registrou apenas um sack sobre Winston, embora tenha sido um decisivo na prorrogação por Hutchinson para selar a vitória.
No primeiro encontro contra os Packers, a defesa de Detroit não conseguiu sackar o Quarterback Jordan Love e o atingiu apenas duas vezes. Detroit precisa encontrar uma forma de gerar mais pressão consistente desta vez, seja com sua linha defensiva ou por meio de blitzes. Os 32 sacks de Detroit na temporada são o 8º maior total da NFL.
5. Reduzir os drops
Os Lions terminaram a última temporada como nº 1 da NFL no menor número de passes dropados (7) e na menor porcentagem de drops (1,7%). Por algum motivo, os drops surgiram como um problema em momentos da atual temporada. Detroit já dobrou seu total de drops do ano passado, com 14 em 11 jogos e taxa de 5,4%.
Os Wide Receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown e Jameson Williams foram creditados cada um com cinco drops nesta temporada. Os recebedores de Detroit precisam aproveitar ao máximo suas oportunidades no jogo aéreo contra uma defesa dos Packers que está entre as cinco melhores da NFL tanto em pontos permitidos quanto em defesa total.
