The Green Bay Packers are tied with Detroit for the N-F-C North Division lead. They’re both at 3-1 after the first quarter of the regular season, with Minnesota third at 2-2 and Chicago last at 1-3. The Lions won at Minneapolis 14-7 on Sunday, as Detroit forced three turnovers to raise their season total to eleven after having just 14 takeaways in all of the previous year. Anthony Zettel led the way for the Lions’ defense with two sacks, one fumble recovery, and four quarterback hurries. The Packers are finishing up a long weekend today (Monday) after their home victory against Chicago last Thursday night — and they’ll play at Dallas next Sunday.
The National Football League has suspended Chicago linebacker Danny Trevathan for two games for hit on Packer wide receiver Davante Adams in Thursday’s game. Adams is out of the hospital, but still going through the concussion protocol. A league source says Trevathan will appeal. Adams was taken off the field on a stretcher after he was hit in the head by Trevathan’s tackle. There was a penalty, but the Bears defender wasn’t kicked out of the game. Trevathan says he regrets hitting Adams on his helmet, but he was “just trying to make a play.”
