Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell is facing a lot of criticism following his team’s 31-24 loss to the Green Bay Packers. In particular, Campbell is under heat for continuing to go for it on fourth down, passing up another field goal late in the game. Additionally, some believe the Lions offense didn’t show enough urgency […]
In a pivotal NFC North tilt on Thanksgiving Day, the Detroit Lions fell flat and it could have dire consequences down the stretch. It was sadly more of the same from the Lions: a few splash plays on offense with too many defensive lapses mixed in. Detroit is officially running out of games to turn […]
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Tom Silverstein is reporting that the Green Bay Packers’ working belief about defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt’s ankle injury is that he “suffered significant ligament damage in his left ankle.” As bad as a broken ankle would have been for Wyatt, ligament damage is much worse, considering how much quicker and successful […]
The Green Bay Packers have swept the Detroit Lions, and finished the sweep in a nationally televised game in their own building. I’m consuming as much Lions cope as possible (please share when you find new cope), but it’s also worth looking internally at what the Packers did to earn this Week 13 win. So […]
It wasn’t long ago that the Detroit Lions were the face of fourth downs in this league. The team has spearheaded a wave of aggression across the league with their high percentage of money down attempts. For the past few years, that aggression has led Detroit to having one of the highest-scoring offenses in football. […]
Jordan Love is at his best on Thanksgiving Day. Playing on the holiday for the third straight year — each year he has been the Green Bay Packers’ starting quarterback — Love delivered a third consecutive tremendous performance. Against the Detroit Lions on Thursday afternoon, Love threw for four touchdowns and completed a critical 4th-down […]
In the fourth quarter of the Green Bay Packers’ Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions, on a Micah Parsons sack, Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt went down with an ankle injury. It did not look good. I’m no doctor, but it sure looks like Wyatt’s ankle snapped under the weight of friendly fire from teammate […]

Happy Thanksgiving to you if you are a Rams fan. What are you making and/or eating today? While you’re at it, what do you think about the three games today? I see some former Rams there in Detroit with the Lions playing the Packers in the morning. Will Jared Goff help keep the Lions in […]
Two NFC playoff teams kick off the Thanksgiving tripleheader. The Green Bay Packers are 7-3-1, while the host Detroit Lions are 7-4.

The Detroit Lions battled through injury and officiating controversy on Thanksgiving, but it still wasn’t enough to beat a Green Bay Packers team that punted just twice on the day. Jordan Love threw for 234 yards and four touchdowns, while Josh Jacobs added 82 of the Packers’ 125 yards on the ground. For much of […]
It’s time for kickoff. Today, the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions play once again on Thanksgiving Day with NFC North positioning at stake. Both teams closely trail the 8-3 Chicago Bears in the division race, with the 7-3-1 Packers a half-game behind and the 7-4 Lions one game back. Should the Bears lose to […]

We interrupt your Frank Ragnow celebration with this huge NFC North showdown on Thanksgiving Day. While we’re all excited that Detroit’s All-Pro center is back, he likely won’t take the field for at least a couple weeks. In the meantime, the Lions have a playoff race to concern themselves with, and Thursday’s game against the […]

Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar writes about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson, who showed up like never before in Green Bay’s crucial win over the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday. There […]
Yesterday, the Green Bay Packers ruled out receiver Savion Williams, defensive end Lukas Van Ness, and defensive tackle Karl Brooks, and listed receiver Matthew Golden, linebacker Quay Walker, cornerback Keisean Nixon, and cornerback Nate Hobbs as questionable against the Detroit Lions due to injuries. 90 minutes before kickoff on Thanksgiving, the Packers officially ruled out […]
The Detroit Lions (7-4) and Green Bay Packers (7-3-1) have declared their inactives ahead of their Week 13 matchup at Ford Field on Thanksgiving Day.
