Hopefully, the most effective remedy for hubris in the NFL is thorough exposure, the kind that leaves a team no choice but to reevaluate the path that led it to a certain point. In that case, maybe the Packers will be cured of their affliction thanks to a season-ending loss on a prime-time stage that may come to be the end of an era.
Take your pick of moments in Sunday night’s Packers-Lions game, one that should have given Green Bay a manageable path to the postseason, seeing as the Lions already knew at kickoff they had nothing to play for but the chance to embarrass a division rival. Will anything click?
• How about the sight of Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn wiggle-shuffling down the sideline, celebrating a first down as if he was leading a conga processional at a best friend’s wedding?
