Will he or won’t he?

That will be the No. 1 question about Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers this week.

Love suffered a groin injury in the first quarter Sunday that ultimately knocked him out of the Jacksonville game early in the third quarter. Still, the Packers rallied without their franchise quarterback and beat the Jaguars, 30-27.

That sets up a Week 9 showdown at Lambeau Field between the top two teams in the NFC.

Detroit, which leads the conference with a 6-1 record, travels to Green Bay (6-2), which is tied for the second-best mark in the NFC.

Here are five early keys to one of the biggest games of this NFL season.

1. Love on the rocks

Love’s groin injury will consume the airwaves and dominate headlines all week. After the Packers beat the Jaguars, Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur was asked about the extent of Love’s injury.

“I have no idea,” LaFleur said. “But obviously a high level of concern.

“Everyone saw him struggling to move. And it got to a point where we didn’t feel like it and he didn’t feel like he could protect himself.”

The NFL Network reported that Love will undergo further testing on Monday, but appears to have avoided a long-term injury. Green Bay has a bye week after the Detroit game, meaning if Love is out, he would have three full weeks to heal before the Packers travel to Chicago on Nov. 17.

If love can’t work, number 2 Malik Willis has proven to be an extremely capable backup. Willis went 2-0 earlier this year when Love was sidelined with a sprained MCL, then rallied the Packers to a win over Jacksonville on Sunday.

2. Great Goff

Detroit quarterback Jared Goff, the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft, is having his best season.

Goff leads the NFL in passer percentage at 115.3 and completion percentage at 74.1. Goff threw 13 touchdowns, four interceptions and threw for 242.1 yards per game.

“He shares the ball,” Tennessee coach Brian Callahan said of Goff. “Jared, I think, is an underrated quarterback. He’s probably playing as well as anybody in football right now.”

During the Packers’ 29-22 win over the Lions on Thanksgiving last year, they showed that the way to slow Goff down is to take him out of his spot. Goff was sacked three times and hit 12 times on the day.

Green Bay will need similar pressure again to try to contain one of the hottest running backs in the NFL.

3. Offensive fireworks

Goff is just one piece of the NFL’s best offense.

The Lions, who have won five straight, lead the league in scoring with 33.4 points per game. And Detroit is averaging a remarkable 43.0 points per game over its last four outings.

Sophomore Jahmyr Gibbs is the most explosive running back in the NFL. Gibbs is sixth in the NFL in rushing (591 yards) and averages a whopping 6.4 yards per carry, but splits time with veteran David Montgomery to keep both backs fresh.

Together, the duo combined for 1,006 rushing yards and 14 total touchdowns.

The offensive line is the best in the NFL, where right tackle Pena Sewell, right guard Kevin Zeitler and center Frank Ragnow are all Pro Bowlers.

The receiving group – led by Amon-Ra St. Brown (41-408-5) and tight end Sam LaPorta (20-272-2) is deep and talented. But the Packers are taking a break that running back Jameson Williams is serving the second of a two-game suspension for “violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.”

4. Defense has claws

It’s been a decade since the Lions have had a top-10 defense. In fact, over the last five seasons, Detroit’s highest ranking is 23^st and his average finish is 28^th.

But this Detroit roster is loaded, and the Lions rank eighth in scoring defense, allowing 19.1 points per game.

The Lions’ strength is a run defense that ranks fifth, allowing 101.9 yards per game. And while Detroit is certainly missing Aidan Hutchinson (broken foot), its depth allowed it to go 2-0 without its Pro Bowl defensive end.

Linebackers Jack Campbell and Alex Anzalone make up the difference, while relievers Kerby Joseph (five interceptions) and Brian Branch (four INTs) are both in the midst of great seasons.

Green Bay could find success behind corners Carlton Davis (30 catches allowed) and Terrion Arnold (22 receptions allowed) – who have allowed a combined 52 catches and don’t have an interception.

5. All three phases

The Lions’ special teams have been extremely good this year as well.

Kalif Raymond had a punt return 90 yards for a touchdown Sunday and is averaging 16.6 yards on his 19 returns.

Detroit has attempted just six kickoff returns, but is averaging 35.5 yards per attempt — highlighted by a 72-yard return by cornerback Khalil Dorsey.

Kicker Jake Bates is 11-of-11 on field goals and 27-of-28 on extra points, while punter Jack Fox ranks among the league leaders in gross (52.5) ​​and net (47.3).

There are very few that these Leos do not do well.

“We play three units and when a couple of them hum at the right time, it can save one of your units,” Detroit coach Dan Campbell said.
