Two hours before the first bus of Detroit Lions players arrives at Lambeau Field, the locker room is buzzing. More than a dozen people mill about, mixing shakes, double-checking shoulder pads and setting up peanut butter and jelly sandwich packets on player snack tables.

Will Lundh and Patrick Scotto, two of the team’s equipment staffers, walk to every locker and examine each helmet and visor, rechecking the work two colleagues completed at the team headquarters earlier in the week. One more tug on the chin strap, visual scan of the visor and face mask and then a polish with a rag and rubbing alcohol.

“It really hits ya,” Scotto says, of the smell.
