Packers QB Love Starts, CB Alexander Sits In Week 9 Clash With Lions
The Green Bay Packers will be without their starting cornerback Jaire Alexander for their Week 9 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Alexander is dealing with a groin injury that has kept him out of practice all week.
With Alexander out, the Packers will likely turn to Rasul Douglas to start opposite Eric Stokes. Douglas has been a solid fill-in for Alexander in the past, and he should be up to the task of handling the Lions' passing attack.
On the other side of the ball, the Packers will be starting Jordan Love at quarterback. Love is making his first career start in place of Aaron Rodgers, who is out with a thumb injury. Love has shown some promise in preseason and limited regular season action, but he will be facing a tough test against a Lions defense that has been playing well lately.
Packers Look to Continue Winning Ways
The Packers are coming off a big win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 8. They will be looking to continue their winning ways against the Lions, who are 1-6 on the season.
The Lions have a lot of young talent on their roster, but they have struggled to put it all together on a consistent basis. The Packers should be able to take advantage of the Lions' mistakes and come away with a win.
Lions Aim to Upset Packers
The Lions are coming off a bye week, and they will be looking to upset the Packers at home. The Lions have a lot of talent on their roster, and they are due for a breakout performance.
If the Lions can play to their potential, they could give the Packers a run for their money. The Packers will need to be at their best to avoid an upset.
