Questions, takeaways from Thanksgiving matchups: Our reporters break down every game (Lions - Should the Lions be concerned about Dan Campbell's playcalling? The head coach took over playcalling duties entering Week 10, at which point Detroit was averaging 29.9 points per game, but the Lions have now lost two of their past three games and have looked questionable at times with their predictability -- notably on the ground. Detroit has struggled on fourth downs but continues to take risks. With two failed conversions against Green Bay, Detroit is 0-7 on fourth down since Week 11, which is tied for the most fourth-down attempts in the league, and by far the most attempts without a conversion, per ESPN Research...Most surprising performance: The short-handed Lions needed a much-needed boost with injuries to Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, Brock Wright, Kalif Raymond and Graham Glasgow on offense. Enter Tom Kennedy, a practice squad veteran, who stepped up to make plays on offense and special teams in their absence Thursday. Kennedy was signed to Detroit's active roster from the practice squad Wednesday evening and finished with four catches for 36 yards. Best quote from the locker room: After his Lions dropped to 7-5, Campbell said he told his players, "It's frustrating, I know. We've got a lot to be thankful for even after a loss." Campbell then expanded on Detroit's standing as it looks toward Week 14: "We've dug ourselves a little bit of a hole, that's the bottom line. We are in a little bit of a hole, but that's just what it is. There's nothing more than that. So, all we've got to do is worry about is cleaning up this and then getting to the next game and finding a way to win the next one in front of us." -- Eric Woodyard):  https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47098730/nfl-week-13-2025-season-questions-takeaways-lessons-stats-recap-every-game

Grades:

CBS (Lions Grade: B.  The Lions played well enough to win, but they lost this game because they fell apart on fourth down on both sides of the ball. Offensively, they went 0-for-2 on fourth down and the most painful miss was a fourth-and-3 drop by Jameson Williams that came at Green Bay's 21-yard line in the fourth quarter. Defensively, they let the Packers convert all three of their fourth down attempts, including a fourth-and-3 conversion with under two minutes to play that allowed Green Bay to ice the game. Basically, the Lions needed to make some clutch plays and they couldn't get it done on either side of the ball, which has been the story of their season. After finishing 15-2 last season, this year's version of the Lions (7-5) is now in serious danger of missing the playoffs.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-thanksgiving-grades-for-week-13-packers-earn-a-for-sweeping-lions-cowboys-set-to-face-chiefs/
