It’s a short week for the 4-6 Packers as Green Bay travels to Detroit to take on the 8-2 Lions on Thanksgiving Day. Here are six delicious tidbits going into the 11:30 a.m. CST kickoff.
1. History of Thanksgiving Games
While the Packers have played on Christmas Day the last two seasons, this is actually the first time Green Bay will play on Thanksgiving since 2015 when the Packers hosted the Bears at Lambeau Field. This is the first game at Detroit for the Packers since 2013.
When the NFC North rivals square off on Thursday, it’ll be the 22nd meeting between the two teams on Thanksgiving.
