Week 2 offers Aaron Rodgers the perfect opportunity to win at home against the Detroit Lions, but the visitors come home with an experienced quarterback. In the first week of the 2021 NFL season the home team received the worst criticism of the season for the loss to the Saints.

The Detroit Lions are also looking for the first win of the season after losing in Week 1 to the San Francisco 49ers at home 33-41. But that loss is a little more acceptableknowing the Lions barely have a new headcoach and a new quarterback.
