Lions vs Packers live stream: How to watch Monday Night Football online

The Lions vs Packers live stream is coming up soon, and it has Aaron Rodgers looking to bounce back from one of the worst performances of his career and a Detroit team who’s comeback came up just short against the 49ers. Who will get redemption in this NFL live stream? 

Awful. Horrendous. Hideous. All words that would accurately describe the performance of three-time MVP Aaron Rodgers against the Saints last week. His 36.8 passer rating was the lowest rating of week one and the fourth lowest of his career. But here’s the good news for Packer fans. 

Rodgers posted a 35.4 rating against the Bucs last year and bounced back the following week to not only win, but post a 132.4 rating with four touchdown passes in a 35-20 win over the Texans.

Now the Lions will travel to Lambeau field to try and squash any chance of Rodgers rebounding. This will also mark the first start for Jared Goff at the Packers’ historic home stadium but he has faced the Packers before. Goff is 1-0 against Rodgers and company, beating at them at the L.A. Coliseum in 2018, 29-27 in a game that saw Goff throw for three touchdowns. 

The inactives are as follows:

Packers: OLB Jonathan Garvin, CB Ka’Dar Hollman, QB Jordan Love, G Simon Stepaniak, TE Jace Sternberger, WR Malik Taylor

Lions: QB David Blough, OT Tyrell Crosby, WR Kenny Golladay, DL Frank Herron, S C.J. Moore, CB Jeff Okudah, RB Jonathan Williams

The Lions are coming off a too-little-too-late loss to the 49ers last Sunday. Detroit trailed by as much as 28 points before outsourcing San Francisco 23-3 through the final 20 minutes of the game. Goff completed 38-of-his-57 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns in the loss with one interception. He also hit three different receivers for at least eight catches.

The Packers are a huge 11-point favorite against the Lions. The over/under is 48.

Lions vs Packers live streams in the US

In the US, Lions vs Packers is going to be broadcast on ESPN, which is available with most cable packages and on two of our favorite streaming services fuboTV and Sling TV.

The game starts at 8:15 p.m. ET / 5:15 p.m. PT on Monday (Sept. 13).

If FOX, ESPN, NBC and NFL Network have typically been enough to get you all the football you need, you could rely on Sling (which doesn't include CBS, and RedZone is available with the Sports Extra add on). You can get your local CBS NFL games via Paramount Plus, if you want.

The more comprehensive package comes from fuboTV, as it has all five of the main channels you'll want: CBS, ESPN, FOX, NBC and the NFL Network. That's why it's one of the best streaming services.

It's a case of "you get what you pay for" as Sling Orange & Blue (which you'd need to get ESPN, FOX, NBC and NFL Network) costs $50 per month, while the Fubo TV Standard package gives you all of the above, for $65 per month.

Fubo.TV: One of the best streaming services with ESPN, and the top pick for watching all of the 2021 NFL live streams, Fubo has all of the right network channels and the two cable channels you don't want to go without.
