The Patriots continue to deal with offensive injuries, but it was a defensive meltdown that plagued them more than anything in a Week 9 loss to the Packers. As they travel to Munich to face another NFC North contender, they are under serious pressure to get it right.
New England is at risk of slipping to .500 on Sunday, facing a Lions team that is just as capable as Green Bay of doing damage to the secondary.
In recent weeks, the Lions have seen their glaring defensive issues start to improve, although Drake Maye will be a different test for Kelvin Sheppard's unit.
While the pressure is on the Patriots to stop the bleeding after last weekend and get back in the win column, the NFC North offers little room for error. A loss on Sunday could move the Lions close to last place in the division, depending on other results, in a testament to just how competitive all four teams have been.
