Packers' dynamite start is only that – a start - Packers.com

Detroit's two touchdown drives to start the game made it five straight possessions with the opponent finding the end zone, dating back to last week's rough finish in Minnesota.

But the unit's ability to right the ship after Sunday's rough start was promising. The Lions scored just seven points on their final eight possessions.

Also, three times in two games, the opponent has been backed up inside its own 10-yard line to start a drive and Green Bay's defense has capitalized, one way or another.

All of that is a pretty decent formula for success, but in a week-to-week league, every game is a new start, its own entity. One of LaFleur's favorite phrases is about hitting the reset button, and it's never not appropriate.

The Packers don't play another NFC North game until Week 8. The two they've won are more important than any of the tough games coming up, but this is one eye-catching stretch they're heading into.

Oh, you wanted to catch your breath? Maybe during the bye week, but not right now.

"Again," LaFleur said, "we're only two games into this thing."
