The Detroit Lions, led by quarterback Jared Goff, face the Green Bay Packers, led by quarterback Jordan Love, on Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025 (9/7/25) at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan.

In the first of three Thanksgiving day games, the Detroit Lions play host to the division rival Green Bay Packers .

Detroit’s Thanksgiving Day showdown with the Green Bay Packers featured a depleted roster missing several offensive weapons and key trench players, which contributed to the offense’s overall struggles. But above everything else, the defense delivered arguably its worst outing of the season as the Lions fell 31–24, dropping to 7–5.

Last year, the Detroit Lions went 15-2 and locked up the top seed in the NFC. After a 5-2 start, coach Dan Campbell's Lions have lost three of five and needed a 59-yard field goal from Jake Bates to avoid a home loss to the New York Giants.

The Detroit Lions shared some major Jahmyr Gibbs news before their Thanksgiving NFL game against the Green Bay Packers.

The Green Bay Packers picked up a 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving in large part because of Jordan Love's performance. Unfortunately, there was some controversy regarding the referees.

St. Brown was rolled up on by a teammate while engaged as a blocker with a Packers defender during a run by Jahmyr Gibbs. He was briefly attended to by the training staff, walked off under his own power with a noticeable limp, and went straight to the locker room for further examination.
