Make it seven consecutive Thanksgiving losses for the Detroit Lions as a 20-point first quarter by the visiting Green Bay Packers paired with costly mistakes throughout ended up being their demise in a 29-22 setback at Ford Field to fall to 8-3 on the season.
However, even though the Lions lost, they still hold a 2.5 game lead in the NFC North over the 6-6 Minnesota Vikings heading into Week #13 of the regular season.
Detroit will look to bounce back this Sunday afternoon on the road against the banged up and 5-6 New Orleans Saints at 1 pm.
Here’s how the Lions’ remaining regular season schedule lines up:
– December 3rd at New Orleans (5-6)
– December 10th at Chicago Bears (4-8)
– December 17th vs. Denver Broncos (6-5)
– December 24th at Minnesota Vikings (6-6)
– December 30th at Dallas Cowboys (8-3)
– January 7th vs. Minnesota Vikings (6-6)
