Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers and Thanksgiving Day
Digest more
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.
All of the fourth downs were significant plays: The Packers’ first two touchdowns came on fourth downs, and the final first down that allowed them to seal the win came on a fourth-down conversion. The Lions’ first failed fourth down led to another Packers score, and the Lions’ other failed fourth down ended a promising drive.
GB parlays the fourth-down stop into a 51-yard bomb from Love to Christian Watson, giving the Packers a 24-14 lead with 10:31 left in the third. Love now has thrown 3 TD's to three different receivers.
The Packers wide receiver sealed the game against the Detroit Lions on Thursday, with a highlight-reel catch on fourth-and-3. Despite having Pro Bowl safety Brian Branch breathing down his neck, Wicks hauled the ball in from quarterback Jordan Love for a first down, allowing the Packers to kneel out the rest of the clock for a 31-24 win.
