RECAP: Lions vs. Eagles

What happened: Make it three in a row for the Detroit Lions.

The Lions played their most complete game of the season in downing the Philadelphia Eagles 45-14 on a national stage in their 76thAnnual Thanksgiving Day Game on Thursday.

Offense, defense and special teams -- all three phases -- had a hand in the Lions’ third-straight win that improves their record to 4-7 on the year.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw touchdown passes to Theo Riddick, Golden Tate and Calvin Johnson in the first half, as the Lions jumped out to a 24-7 lead at the break.
