JUMP TO:

The NFL returns for Week 13 with three Thanksgiving games. The action kicks off as the Green Bay Packers travel to play the Detroit Lions in an important NFC North contest.

Following a defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles, the Packers (7-3-1) have now secured consecutive victories. Their latest triumph was a decisive 23-6 victory against the Minnesota Vikings. Despite the absence of their starting running back, Josh Jacobs, backup Emmanuel Wilson delivered an outstanding performance. He accumulated 107 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns on 28 carries, also making two receptions for 18 yards.

Detroit (7-4) suffered a narrow defeat against Philadelphia in Week 11, but bounced back with a victory against the New York Giants in Week 12. Although a win is a positive outcome, the Lions required overtime to overcome the Giants. The defensive unit had difficulty stopping Jameis Winston and New York's deceptive plays, and Detroit might have lost if not for Jahmyr Gibbs' outstanding performance. The primary running back accumulated 219 yards and two scores on 15 rushes, along with 45 receiving yards and an additional touchdown from 11 catches.

Live updates and highlights from the NFL Thanksgiving game between the Packers and Lions.

All times ET.

TOUCHDOWN -- Packers 24, Lions 21 

3:12 p.m. -- Detroit turned up the offense after Green Bay's quick touchdown. St. Brown was finally ruled out for the game, but that didn't slow them down. Goff began the drive with a 24-yard run and followed it up with a 13-yard pass to Montgomery. Montgomery then picked up 14 yards before Goff hit Isaac TeSlaa for a 17-yard score. 

TOUCHDOWN -- Packers 24, Lions 14

3:05 p.m. -- After gaining possession, the Packers saw Jacobs fail to advance the ball on first down. The subsequent play saw Love connect with Christian Watson for a 51-yard scoring reception.

3:00 p.m. -- St. Brown remained sidelined for The Lions coming out of halftime. Detroit persisted with its strategy of short passes and running the ball. The Lions encountered a fourth-and-three situation at the Packers' 47-yard line. Detroit's head coach, Dan Campbell, opted to attempt the conversion with a run up the middle by Gibbs. He was stopped for a loss of two yards, resulting in the Lions starting the second half with a turnover on downs. 

END OF HALF -- Packers 17, Lions 14

2:33 p.m. -- The Packers attempted a pass, but it fell incomplete. After that, they decided just to take the game into halftime. 

TOUCHDOWN -- Packers 17, Lions 14

2:30 p.m. -- With the score as it was, the Lions were facing a time crunch before the break. Detroit executed one play prior to the two-minute warning. Following that, the Lions continued to focus on their running game. Goff eventually initiated the passing offense with a 25-yard reception by Williams. The wide receiver's contribution didn't end there. After evading a tackle, he navigated through the defense for a 22-yard touchdown with just 25 seconds remaining in the first half. 

TOUCHDOWN -- Packers 17, Lions 7

2:17 p.m. -- After a couple of drives, Love's passing has shown significant improvement. Following an initial incompletion, he successfully connected on his subsequent five attempts, culminating in a 23-yard throw to tight end Luke Musgrave. A defensive infraction placed Green Bay at the four-yard line on third down. Love then advanced the ball three yards, setting up a fourth-and-short situation. Post-timeout, Love found Doubs for the touchdown. 

TOUCHDOWN -- Packers 10, Lions 7

2:05 p.m. -- The Lions still don't have St. Brown back, and there has been no new update on his possible return. In St. Brown's absence, Jameson Williams was able to get into space for a 22-yard gain. Gibbs picked up 18 yards on a run.

Tom Kennedy, promoted from the practice squad, made a 23-yard catch. The Lions reached the goal line, and David Montgomery received a direct snap for a three-yard touchdown. 

TOUCHDOWN -- Packers 10, Lions 0

1:50 p.m. -- A significant 29-yard run by Josh Jacobs initiated the drive. The Packers advanced to the 22-yard line through a combination of runs and short passes. On fourth and three, Green Bay opted to attempt the conversion, and Love connected with Dontayvion Wicks for a 22-yard touchdown, with the wide receiver just managing to stay in bounds.

1:30 p.m. -- Detroit achieved a first down on their subsequent possession, yet it concluded with a punt following five plays. The worry is that star wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had his ankle rolled on by two teammates, causing him to go down. He was immediately taken to the locker room and was considered questionable to re-enter the game.

1:20 p.m. The Packers also went three-and-out. Their series included a one-yard run, an incomplete pass, and a four-yard completion that didn't reach the first down marker. 

1:15 p.m. -- The Lions were unable to respond. Detroit had a three-and-out. Jahmyr Gibbs picked up two yards and Goff had two incompletions before they punted. 

FIELD GOAL -- Packers 3, Lions 0

1:10 p.m. -- Green Bay's first drive ended in a field goal. Jordan Love found Christian Watson for a 17-yard gain., and then Josh Jacobs picked up 13 on the ground. After Green Bay had a fresh set of downs on the Detroit 27-yard line, Love had three straight incompletions to set up the field goal as the drive fizzled. 

1 p.m. -- The Packers will receive the opening kickoff, and we're now in play after a fantastic rendition of the national anthem by CeCe Winans.

12:45 p.m. -- The time is 12:45 p.m., and the game has yet to begin. For Dedicated Thanksgiving football enthusiasts, you might be curious about the delay. In prior years, kickoff occurred at 12:30, but the NFL elected to postpone it by thirty minutes to align with the usual Sunday game times. 

12:30 p.m. -- The Packers will be wearing white jerseys with yellow helmets and yellow pants. 

The Lions will counter with blue jerseys, silver helmet and silver pants. 

12:20 p.m. -- This marks a long-standing Thanksgiving tradition. The Packers and Lions have met on Thanksgiving 22 times, with the 2025 game being the 23rd encounter. This pairing represents the most frequent Thanksgiving game in NFL history. The Lions currently hold a 12-9-1 advantage in these contests.
