Latest news and updates about the Packers
Hi everybody! You may have seen this reel by Amik Robertson after the Green Bay Packers’ second easy victory of the season over the Detroit Lions. It reminds me of something you occasionally see fans do when their team is an underdog, and leading against a favorite: Chanting “Overrated!” It’s a terrible troll in that […]
From the initial eye-test, it certainly seemed like the Detroit Lions didn’t generate enough pressure on Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love on Thanksgiving. Per NFL Pro, Love had an average of 3.09 seconds to throw—the third-most time he’s had all season. Love used that time to dice up the Lions’ defense for completions on […]
The latest NFL Thanksgiving grades for Week 13: Cowboys ace test, Packers earn ‘A-‘ | CBS Sports B – ChiefsAfter seven straight years of reaching at least the AFC title game with Patrick Mahomes, this might have been the dagger that finally ends Kansas City’s playoff streak.

The Green Bay Packers won on Thanksgiving, toppling the Detroit Lions. That didn’t change their NFC playoff picture placement at all and they remain in sixth, but they could have moved up with a Chicago Bears loss on Friday. Instead, the Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles and Chicago is back in first place. The Eagles […]
The Green Bay Packers announced on Friday that the team has re-signed kicker Lucas Havrisik to the team’s practice squad. The Packers waived Havrisik earlier this week to make room for bringing up receiver Will Sheppard to the 53-man roster ahead of the Detroit Lions game on Thanksgiving. Sheppard never played an offensive or special […]
If you look at the overall Team Stats for this game at Pro Football Reference, it tells an accurate story of this being an extremely close game. The difference? The Green Bay Packers were 3-for-3 when going for it on 4th down, while the Detroit Lions were 0-2. Today, we’re just going to take a […]
Green Bay Packers fans would love nothing more on this Black Friday afternoon than to see their oldest rivals lose a big game. With the Packers set to host the Chicago Bears next Sunday in Week 14, a Bears loss today would set up a massive contest next week that would surely help define the […]
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks has had some really good games over his up-and-down three-year NFL career. However, Thursday’s game against the Detroit Lions looked like his most complete performance as a pro, and signaled that he could become a true star at the position if he can build on that kind of […]
Another year, another Thanksgiving Day win for quarterback Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers. The team traveled to Detroit to face off against the Lions in their 23rd Thanksgiving matchup against the team, and 193rd overall meeting. The game was a close one, with both teams having nearly identical stats in all areas except […]
The Detroit Lions (7-5) dropped another close game in Week 13, falling to the Packers (8-4-1) for the second time this season. The Lions were dealing with a multitude of injuries, while also returning players from injury lists and signing/elevating several practice squad players to fill the voids. Let’s take a look at how the […]
No intro necessary. Let’s just get into the grades for the Detroit Lions’ loss to the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving. Quarterback: B+ I was not prepared for a shootout between the two teams, but Jared Goff was. On a day of solid quarterbacking from both teams, Goff was matching Jordan Love with big throw […]
Thanksgiving is a great holiday. You eat lots of food, are surrounded by loved ones, and the best part is, there is Detroit Lions football on TV. That last part is only enjoyable if the outcome is a good one, and it wasn’t this year. After defeating the Chicago Bears last season, ending a seven-year […]
The Green Bay Packers won on Thanksgiving, toppling the Detroit Lions. That doesn’t change their NFC playoff picture placement at all and they remain in sixth, but they are poised to move up this weekend. If the Chicago Bears lose to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, the Packers move into first place in the division. […]
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 […]

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 […]
