Packers sweep Lions with Thanksgiving win

The Green Bay Packers completed a season sweep of the Detroit Lions after winning in Detroit, 31-24, on Thanksgiving Day.

Is a sweep of the Lions in the cards?

It’s another Thanksgiving Day game for the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions. The game begins at noon at Ford Field.

Packers’ offense vs. Lions’ defense

Green Bay’s offense has been a tale of two situations this year.

At times, they look unstoppable.

Other times, they cannot get out of their own way.

The first time the Packers played the Lions, they displayed both of those qualities.

Keys to the Game: Lions game has big playoff implications

And we’re right back where we started.

Sort of.

The Green Bay Packers won the first game of the season against the Detroit Lions, with an emphatic 27-13 victory at Lambeau Field.

A lot has happened since then. The Packers and Lions have both visited third place in their division since the two teams met on opening day.

Six-Pack: Parsons, Gary could be in for a big day

The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions will be the first of three nationally televised games Thanksgiving Day.

This one could be the biggest of the day and perhaps the biggest of the year for the Packers.

A win gives them a commanding lead over the Lions in terms of tiebreaker scenarios should they need that in the NFC playoff picture.

Swelling going down in Jacobs’ knee

Running back Josh Jacobs hurt his knee against the New York Giants and missed the game against the Minnesota Vikings.

How do you feel about Metlife’s turf?

Definitely the worst. It’s always been the worst. I know if I ever play there again, I will never talk about it because I talked about it all week, how bad it was, and it bit me.

Swelling?

Defense locks down Vikings

Led by two sacks from Micah Parsons, the Packers’ defense held the Minnesota Vikings to six points, as Green Bay won its second divisional game of the season, 23-6 on Nov. 23.

Parsons closed out his fifth straight 10-sack season and second multi-sack game with the Packers.
