Last season, the Thanksgiving Day win over the Detroit Lions was a defining moment for the Green Bay Packers. It was that game when everything really came together and the team showed the promise and progress that would carry them to a playoff berth and a playoff victory, despite being the youngest team in NFL history to make the postseason.
This year, the team has gone through its ups and downs in the first half of the season once again, but they’re playing the best they have all season right now. And tonight, they will have another opportunity to make a statement in Detroit that they are legitimate Super Bowl contenders.
