The two formations of the North section of the national association have a date on Sunday night and a place in the playoffs is key. Indeed, the Packers (8-8) will be postseason if they win, while the Lions (8-8) win and need to hope for a Seattle Seahawks (8-8) loss to continue their campaign.
“She [les Packers] don’t respect us A-Rod doesn’t respect us, this whole team doesn’t respect us,” Elliott claimed a few days before the duel.
“We’re used to being the ‘underdogs’. No matter what happened before, we will fight to the death and play soccer to destroy them. It’s a matter of respect.”
Elliott continued his tirade of blaming Rodgers but didn’t elaborate on what the 39-year-old pivot said, setting him on fire.
“Yes, [Rodgers est] a future Hall of Famer, but I didn’t like the way he talked about my boys all season and how this team sees us. We want to prove something to them.”
Earlier this season, on November 6, the Lions defeated the Packers 15-9.
“It will hurt for a long time,” added the man who had to accept three interceptions in this duel.
