Pre-Match Context
Green Bay entered Thanksgiving at 7-3-1, while Detroit arrived at 7-4. Chicago held first place at 8-3 entering the game.
The Packers had already beaten Detroit 27-13 at Lambeau Field in Week 1. Another victory would give Green Bay the season sweep.

The Lions consequently started Kayode Awosika and Trystan Colon inside the offensive line. Ross Dwelley started at tight end.
Detroit’s receiving situation became more difficult when St. Brown injured his ankle during the opening quarter.
