"You grow up as a kid watching it. Watching Detroit play and watching Dallas play. Detroit and Green Bay on Thanksgiving, I just think everybody knows what that is and everybody for the most part, grew up with that. Our guys know that too. I think that's what makes it special. It's one thing for everyone to see primetime games but most of the time, all the families get together and they are watching these games. It feels special in that regard."
"A dramatic overtime win over the New York Giants last week saw the Lions improve to 7-4, but they are currently outside a crowded NFC playoff picture looking in, with Detroit a half-game back on the 7-3-1 Packers, who eased to victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Detroit will be out for revenge after suffering a 27-13 defeat to the Packers in Week 1."
Detroit hosts Green Bay on Thanksgiving in a pivotal NFC North clash with major playoff implications. Detroit improved to 7-4 after an overtime win over the New York Giants but remains outside the crowded NFC playoff picture, a half-game behind the 7-3-1 Packers. Green Bay eased past the Minnesota Vikings and beat Detroit 27-13 in Week 1, so the Lions seek revenge and a jump in the standings. Detroit faces a short turnaround and must shore up a defense that surrendered 517 yards to the Giants. Chicago leads the division at 8-3 while the Bears face Philadelphia on Friday.
