Mitten Minute | November 29
A tough Thanksgiving for the Detroit Lions, who fell to the Green Bay Packers 31–24 at Ford Field. Jordan Love tossed four touchdowns as Detroit struggled to generate any defensive pressure — zero sacks, only two QB hits, and just one tackle for loss on the day.
Jameson Williams was a bright spot, hauling in 144 yards and a touchdown, but the Lions lost Amon-Ra St. Brown to an ankle injury. Early reports say he may miss a couple weeks but won’t be placed on IR. Detroit went 0-for-2 on 4th down and despite more first downs and longer possession, they couldn’t close it out.
