DETROIT – After beating the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving night on a cold night at Lambeau Field, the Green Bay Packers will play at the Detroit Lions on Thursday night.
It’s the team’s first back-to-back Thursday games since 2015.
Nine years ago, the Packers, with Bart Starr on hand as the team honored Brett Favre, lost at home to the Chicago Bears on a cold and rainy Thanksgiving night at Lambeau Field.
Seven days later, on Dec. 3, they played the Lions on Thursday night.
After 60 minutes, the Lions led 23-21.
The game wasn’t over, though.
