Green Bay Packers Hand Detroit Lions Seventh Straight Thanksgiving Loss
by privatebet.com - 2023/11/24
The Detroit Lions never had much luck playing on Thanksgiving, and their losing streak continued this Thursday night. They suffered the seventh straight loss on Thanksgiving Day to the Green Bay Packers. The Packers took control of the game from the get-go, with Jordan Love’s 53-yard pass to Christian Watson, and they weren’t letting go. Tucker Kraft’s first career touchdown, paired with Jordan Love's three-touchdown showing, gave Green Bay a well-deserved lead, and they were trailing 23-6 at halftime. The Lions managed to regain their composure in the second half, but it all came crashing down with the fake punt, that failed to full the Packers. The Lions coach Dan Campbell took the blame for this decision, which eventually resulted in a 29-22 win for Green Bay. Despite their seventh consecutive loss on Thanksgiving Day, Campbell is feeling optimistic about the future and he’s not getting in “panic mode” following this defeat. "We've got the right guys here. We know how to play, we've got to clean some things up and we'll have six to go when we get back. And the fight's on. We're going to have to fight, scratch, and fight and claw for everything. We have to. That's the type of team we are,” Campbell told the reporters.
