LeFleur also spoke about the challenge of facing the Lions after losing to them twice last year.
Was there a common thread in the divisional losses to Detroit last year?
LaFleur said that they have to play better.
Love ready to face the Lions: Perhaps the most important thing for the Packers quarterback Jordan Love when he takes the field this Sunday against Detroit will be hoe he will protect his surgically-repaired thumb if he goes to the ground?

Love added this about the importance of a fast start.
