Packers vs. Lions in Thanksgiving showdown

Posted by Brandon Mendelson

November 22, 2007 |

Growing up in Michigan, part of the annual Thanksgiving tradition was watching the Detroit Lions play on television. I was never much of a Lions fan, and did not get hooked on the NFL until I moved to Chicago.  Still, every year when I head to Michigan for Thanksgiving, I love to watch the game with my family, even if I am the only one who wants the Lions to lose.

This year’s turkey day Lions game has more significance than it usually does, as the Lions are actually playing well this season. This game against the Green Bay Packers will be a pivotal moment in their season.

Of course the game tangentially affects the Bears because they are all in the same division, even if the Bears are much father down in the standings.
