The Detroit Lions can still make the playoffs, but they have to be darn near perfect in their final five games this season.

The Lions are on the outside of the NFC playoff picture looking in entering Thanksgiving. Can they chance that while playing against the Packers?

Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions do not lose consecutive games. They simply don't. And he made sure that three-years-plus streak of following any defeat with a victory would continue emphatically by donning his reading glasses Sunday so he could see the play sheet while taking over his team's offense.

Thanksgiving Day went just about as bad as it could have for the Detroit Lions and their chances of making the NFL playoffs.

The Packers embraced the Lions' aggressive philosophy to seal a crucial victory, converting a gutsy fourth-down call that put Detroit's playoff hopes in jeopardy.

GB parlays the fourth-down stop into a 51-yard bomb from Love to Christian Watson, giving the Packers a 24-14 lead with 10:31 left in the third. Love now has thrown 3 TD's to three different receivers.

The Green Bay Packers benefited from a major controversy that ensued at the end of the first half of Thursday's game with the Detroit Lions.

Arnold is active after missing the last two games due to a concussion. Davenport is also active for the Lions.
