Packers, Detroit Lions and Thanksgiving
Digest more
Who will take the stage at halftime of the Detroit Lions' Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers? White Stripes star Jack White will perform.
To make matters worse, the Lions' starting center, Graham Glasgow, missed Week 13 due to a knee injury. Trystan Colon started in place and could once again if Glasgow isn't ready against the Cowboys. The offensive line struggled against the Packers, allowing Goff to be sacked three times.
Branch received a $23,186 fine for an unnecessary roughness penalty against the New York Giants, as he delivered a hit on a defenseless player. He received a fine for the same reason one week earlier stemming from a hit against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11.
The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers will kick off their Thanksgiving game at Ford Field in Detroit at 1 p.m., 30 minutes later than normal.
The Lions have the most wins, and the most losses, of any NFL team playing on Thanksgiving. They hold a 38-45-2 record, according to ESPN. They beat the Chicago Bears 23-20 on Turkey Day last year, marking the first time in eight years Detroit has won on the holiday.
