In-form Detroit go head-to-head with struggling Green Bay at Ford Field.

How to watch, livestream Packers vs. Lions
Fox will be carrying this match nationwide, so in addition to cable, satellite and an over-the-air antenna -- which lets you watch your local Fox station for free -- you can also stream the game live using a streaming service. The least expensive such service is Sling TV Blue.
Sling TV's Blue plan includes NBC, Fox and the NFL Network, though it does not have CBS, ABC or ESPN. Enter your address here to see which local channels are available where you live. NFL RedZone is also available for an extra $11 a month.
Note that to get ABC and ESPN, you'll need to switch to the similarly priced Orange plan (which drops Fox, NBC and NFL Network) or go for the combined $60 a month Orange and Blue bundle that includes channels from both packages. With the combined plan, the Sports Extra add-on, which has RedZone, is an extra $15 a month.
One important caveat: In our experience, Fox local affiliates will only be available if your billing address is in one of the 18 metropolitan areas covered in Sling's agreement. If you're outside of one of these areas, you're probably better off going with one of the alternate services listed below.
