The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers kick off the 2025 NFL Thanksgiving tripleheader with a huge NFC North game with big playoff implications. The 7-3-1 Packers and 7-4 Lions sit just behind the 8-4 Chicago Bears for the divisional lead, but with all three teams facing daunting schedules ahead, every game matters—and these divisional games matter even more.

With so much on the line for both teams, you aren’t going to want to miss a single second of the game. So here’s how you can watch Lions vs. Packers on Thanksgiving Day.

**When is the Packers at Lions...

The Detroit Lions announced a plethora of roster moves on Wednesday. First, they activated defensive end Marcus Davenport and rookie guard Miles Frazier from their respective injury lists and placed them on the active roster. They also signed tight end Anthony Firkser and wide receiver Tom Kennedy off the practice squad to the active roster. Additionally, they elevated offensive lineman Kingsley Eguakun and tight end Zach Horton from the practice squad for Week 13. The team also confirmed that they’ve reinstated All-Pro center Frank Ragnow from the reserve/retired list and placed him on an exempt/Commissioner permission list. The Lions also...

We are back after the Detroit Lions’ thrilling win over the New York Giants in Week 12 to preview another big game in Week 13, as the Green Bay Packers come to town for the second of the team’s two regular season matchups in 2025.

After the Packers got the better of the Lions back in Week 1, Detroit is looking to get even during their annual Thanksgiving Day game at Ford Field. To break things down, Meko and Morgan (me) are back with another episode of “Before the Roar.”

We kick things off by recapping how Green Bay has...

The Detroit Lions (7-4) and Green Bay Packers (7-3-1) have declared their injury designations ahead of their Week 13 NFC North battle on Thanksgiving Day.

Let’s take a look at the latest injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note: Any changes from the last injury report will be bolded.

Raymond injured his ankle in Week 12, and with a quick turnaround between games,...

It’s a Thanksgiving Day miracle!

As teased by the Detroit Lions and later confirmed by some national reporter, All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is coming out of retirement after just a few months on the sideline.

“Center Frank Ragnow is returning. Sounds like he’s in shape and ready to roll sooner, rather than later,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport tweeted.

It’s a shocking development, as many have said that Ragnow was comfortable with his decision to retire after seven seasons with the Detroit Lions.

Ragnow’s return comes as a huge development for a Lions team that could use some serious help on...

The Detroit Lions (7-4) and Green Bay Packers (7-3-1) will face off for the second time this season, this time inside the comfy confines of Ford Field on Thanksgiving Day. In their first meeting, the Packers took care of business in Week 1, executing a well-thought-out game plan and walking away with a convincing 27-13 victory.

“Nobody likes losing. We don’t like losing,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said on Monday. “But you open the year, and we go out to their place, and they gave it to us pretty good. And a division opponent, you don’t want to start that...

The Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers face off on Thursday in one of the bigger Thanksgiving Day classics in this franchise’s history. With a tight race both in the division and conference, this could be a game we look back on as the difference between a third-straight NFC North crown and missing the playoffs entirely.

Which team has the statistical advantage heading into Thursday afternoon? Let’s take a look and make a prediction in our Week 12 On Paper preview and prediction for Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers.

Gather ye stuffed turkey hats, the Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit is back again.

A holiday tradition for many families here in Michigan, the Detroit Lions will welcome the Green Bay Packers to a rematch on their home turf on Thursday afternoon.

The Week 1 loss to the Packers 27-13 sent many into a tailspin that was quickly corrected the following week and basically each week since. The Lions are looking to settle the score, but a few national NFL analysts and writers aren’t quite sure they can pull it off.

Here are your Week 13 predictions, thoughts, and score...

The Detroit Lions eked out a victory last week to help them keep pace in a competitive NFC playoff picture. It wasn’t pretty—at times it was outright ugly—but there are no style points attached to wins in the NFL, and there is no rest this week for the Lions. They turn things around on a short week, as is the franchise’s tradition, with their annual Thanksgiving Day game, and we’re here to give you a preview of the main course this Thursday.

This week, we had the pleasure of connecting with Justis Mosqueda, Acme Packing Company’s Editor-In-Chief, to give us...

I had a vision for my prediction last week, but I came two sacks short. Detroit Lions EDGE Aidan Hutchinson came in clutch with the game-ending sack on Sunday afternoon against the New York Giants, but he didn’t have the big game I expected he would.

I’m flipping the script this time, and I want to focus on a different edge defender, the one on the other sideline for the Green Bay Packers: Micah Parsons. Parsons has had a strong season with Green Bay so far, racking up 10 sacks and reinforcing an already strong Green Bay defense. The defense...

On Tuesday, the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced 26 semifinalists for the modern-era Hall of Fame class of 2026, and for the first time, that list includes Detroit Lions legendary offensive lineman Lomas Brown. Retired in 2002, Brown has been eligible for the Hall of Fame for nearly 20 years now, but this is the first time he’s been considered into the semifinal round of voting.

“I was just flabbergasted,” Brown said in a press conference at Allen Park. “I didn’t have words at that point. I’m still kinda short of words to say what this means to me....

On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions announced that they have released three players from their active roster: defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson, cornerback Nick Whiteside, and nickelback Arthur Maulet—confirming a report from earlier in the day. These moves were presumably made in order to make room for multiple players returning from injury ahead of their Week 13 matchup with the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day.

Jefferson, a veteran defensive lineman, was originally brought in to help the Lions’ defensive line with depth. He was only active in Week 6, played on 14 defensive snaps, and did not record a stat. He’s...
