Today at 4:25 p.m. ET, the Green Bay Packers (11-4) and Detroit Lions (11-4) take the field and battle for the division crown in Week 17 action live from Lambeau Field in Green Bay. The game can be live streamed here.
It all comes down to this for the Lions and the Packers as the NFC North Division title hangs in the balance. Green Bay has clinched the division for three straight years while Detroit hasn't won the crown since 1993.
The Packers looked like a lock to win the division until a key loss to the Buffalo Bills two weeks ago halted their momentum. Green Bay is coming off of a 20-3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. The team hasn't lost at home as it boasts a perfect 7-0 record.
The Lions have been surging as they've won four straight matches and they roll into Green Bay off of a 20-14 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 16.
Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers has dealt with a calf injury, but the team isn't worried about his health coming into today's big game.
"We have a full-plate game plan and I'm confident he'll be able to run it," coach Mike McCarthy said via ESPN.
Rodgers is 324-for-498 (65.1 percent) for 4,155 yards with 36 touchdowns and five interceptons thus far this season.
Rodgers has plenty of weapons through the air, including Jordy Nelson, who has a team-best 1,433 receiving yards on 92 catches with 13 touchdowns.
Eddie Lacy has paced the ground game with 1,039 rushing yards on 220 carries and nine scores.
The Lions counter with Matthew Stafford under center and he is 343-for-561 (61.1 percent) this season for 4,040 yards with 19 scores and 12 picks.
Stafford has had plenty of chemistry with Golden Tate this season as he has 96 catches for 1,286 yards and four scores.
On the ground, Joique Bell has led the charge with 800 rushing yards on 210 attempts and he has found the end zone seven times.
The NFC North is on the line when the Lions and Packers collide at Lambeau Field this afternoon in Green Bay.
