The Detroit Lions will host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night in a matchup of NFC North powers.
Despite Dan Campbell’s team being 11-1, analyst Andrew Perloff is concerned about the team from the Motor City.
“Sometimes the Lions are not a serious team…I just wonder, with that coach and those players, are they disciplined enough to see their way through,” Perloff said Thursday morning on Maggie and Perloff.

The best teams in the league find a way to be the most disciplined and the most mature in the biggest moments.
In the playoffs last season, the Lions blew it in San Francisco after taking a big lead in the NFC Championship Game.
This season, they could be headed for that game and beyond.
If they want to become champions this time around, they will have to stay focused on the goal until it is accomplished.
In the playoffs, they can’t commit bad penalties at bad times or turn the ball over to the other team.
Dan Campbell did the tough part: turning the ship around and building his team into a true contender, something that hasn’t been seen in Detroit for a long, long time.
Now, he has to continue teaching that team how to be mature and disciplined in the moments that matter.
This Thursday night game against the arch-rival Green Bay Packers could be a great test for the players as they prepare for the playoffs.
