Lions win third straight game, beat Eagles, 45-14
On a day when Matthew Stafford and Ziggy Ansah celebrated with particularly exceptional performances, the Lions won their yearly Thanksgiving contest, destroying the Eagles, 45-14, at Ford Field.
Stafford had five touchdown passes and threw for 337 yards. Three of his TD passes were grabbed by Calvin Johnson.
Ansah had a sack-happy day against the Eagles and quarterback Mark Sanchez. The Eagles scored early and late, but the Lions had six consecutive scoring possessions that put away Thursday's game and socked the Eagles with their second consecutive game in which they allowed 45 points.
