Lions-Packers flexed to late afternoon

CHICAGO -- The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers will play Sunday for the NFC North title and a likely bye in the NFC playoffs.

The teams just won't be doing it on "Sunday Night Football."

Kickoff time for the Lions-Packers game was moved to 4:25 p.m. next Sunday at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Both teams are 11-4. If Green Bay wins, the Packers win the division. The Packers have won the NFC North the last three seasons.

If Detroit wins or the game ends in a tie, the Lions would win their first division title since 1993.

In their one matchup this season, Detroit beat Green Bay 19-7 at Ford Field in Detroit. However, the Lions haven't won in the state of Wisconsin since 1991.

The game will be televised on Fox.
