The Detroit Lions are gearing up for their 84th Thanksgiving game, looking to continue their strong start to the season by sweeping the Green Bay Packers. This historic matchup marks the 22nd time the two teams have faced off on Turkey Day, with Detroit holding a 12-8-1 record in Thanksgiving head-to-heads.

The Lions are hoping to break a six-game losing streak on Thanksgiving and secure a win for head coach Dan Campbell, who is seeking his first Thanksgiving victory. Their previous matchup with the Packers resulted in a 34-20 win for the Lions, propelling them to the top of the NFC North.

Despite their impressive start, the Lions are focused on improving their performance on both offense and defense.
