Packers front 7 faces difficult test vs. Lions offensive line

The Green Bay Packers front seven is going to face a difficult task this week, having to go up against the Detroit Lions offensive line. Defensive coordinator Joe Barry called it “arguably one of the best offensive lines, if not the best offensive line in football.”

Since the Lions last played the Packers, they’ve posted a record of 6-2, and during that span, Jared Goff has been pressured on just 27% of his dropbacks, according to PFF, the seventh-lowest rate in football. In the run game, the Lions’ offensive line ranks sixth in adjusted line yards by Football Outsiders, which takes into account the offensive line’s contributions to the rushing yards gained by the running backs.
