The Detroit Lions haven’t won on Thanksgiving since 2016. That continues …

In what has become a recent annual tradition for the Detroit Lions, they were easily handled by the opposition on Thanksgiving Day. Maybe they should be thankful that it was in front of an empty Ford Field this year.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for four touchdowns and the Houston Texans handed the Lions a 41-25 loss on Thursday afternoon. The 4-7 Lions have lost four of their last five contests, each by double digits.
