Detroit will once again host the Green Bay Packers in their traditional Thanksgiving Day matchup, kicking off at 1 p.m. ET on FOX. This game marks another chapter in their long-standing rivalry. The Lions are coming off a successful stretch, having captured the NFC North division title for the last two years and even reaching the conference championship game in 2023. With new faces in both coordinator roles this season, Detroit is eager to prove themselves after falling short of their Super Bowl aspirations.

On the other side, the Packers are looking to reestablish themselves after two straight playoff appearances but haven’t claimed the NFC North title since 2021, the final year of Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. Jordan Love, now entering his third season as the starting quarterback, has the chance to add another significant win to his resume against this heated rival.

The Lions swept Green Bay in their last season matchup, but the Packers claimed victory in their last Thanksgiving battle two years ago. This year’s game is vital as both teams aim for contention in what promises to be a competitive NFC North.
