The Green Bay Packers are coming off a thrilling win over the New Orleans Saints, but they have to immediately turn around prepare for a showdown with the 2-1 Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football.
After going to war like that for 60 minutes and coming out on top, you know everybody's in a good mood," Gary told reporters on Sunday. "But one thing I can say is we [are] already focused on next week, so we [are] probably going to enjoy this for like, an hour and [we're] already [onto] next week.

What to do with all the damn injuries?
The Packers' list of injuries to key players continues to get longer and longer each week. The team could be without Zach Tom on Thursday, which means three of the five starters upfront -and the best three out of the five starters- may not play.
That's obviously huge when going up against the likes Aidan Hutchinson and the rest of the Lions pass rush that currently is 10th in pressure rate on the year.
But, the Lions do have some injuries up front, themselves. And some of those players could miss this game, which would obviously be big when going up against the Packers' own impressive pass rush – mainly Rashan Gary.
Either way, the Packers are going to be without some of these guys, so they're going to have to figure out a way to win, regardless.
Can Jordan Love get another signature win?
As impressive as last week's comeback was, it would be even more impressive to beat a good Lions team on a short turnaround, especially with all the injuries the Packers continue to experience.
3 players to watch (that aren't Jordan Love)
- Rashan Gary: He's must-see TV at this point and the Packers are going to need him to play like he did last week if they want to win this game.
- Romeo Doubs: His connection with Love is easily one of the league's best and the smooth route runner showed off an ability to make plays in crunch time. Expect a breakout game from him, very, very soon.
- Rasul Douglas: With Jaire Alexander still nursing a back injury and Carrington Valentine now injured, Douglas is the No. 1 guy in the Packers secondary. He's going to have to be on his game -and make sure everyone else is on theirs- if the back end wants to control a potent passing attack.
