Thanksgiving winners and losers: Love comes up big (Loser: The Lions hype train - Just when you thought Dan Campbell's squad was getting all the way back on track, the Lions laid a big old egg in Motown. The box score shows a close defeat, but to fall behind 23-6 on a day the Packers were without stars like Aaron Jones and Jaire Alexander was a potential indictment of this contender's ceiling. An 8-3 record isn't bad by any means, but we've now had two examples of Detroit flopping with a chance to really gain ground in the NFC, the first coming in an October drubbing at the hands of the Ravens.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2023-nfl-thanksgiving-winners-and-losers-packers-jordan-love-steals-the-show-as-lions-flop-at-home/

Grades:

CBS (Lions Grade:  D-.  After looking nearly invincible through the first 11 weeks of the season, the Lions suddenly look like a very beatable team and a lot of that has to do with the play of Jared Goff. The Lions QB lost three fumbles, including one that was returned for a Packers TD in the first quarter. Goff now has six turnovers over his past two games, which is almost impossible to believe when you consider that he only turned the ball over five times in Detroit's first nine games. Goff didn't get any help from an offensive line that struggled against the Packers' pass-rush. The Lions also went 0-for-4 on fourth down. The most questionable fourth down call came on a fourth-and-3 in the third quarter when Dan Campbell called for a fake punt from his own 23-yard line with the Lions only trailing 23-14 (The Packers would score a TD three plays later that effectively iced the game). Defensively, the Lions looked confused by almost everything the Packers did. It's possible they underestimated Jordan Love, but whatever the reason was, they got diced up for 268 yards and three touchdowns by the Packers QB.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-thanksgiving-grades-lions-get-a-d-for-ugly-turkey-day-performance-packers-earn-an-a/
