The Detroit Lions are preparing to face a powerful Green Bay Packers team on Thanksgiving.n 1962, Detroit was 8-2 entering its Thanksgiving Day game against Green Bay, which was 10-0. Green Bay won the NFL Championship a year prior in 1961. The Packers were led by future Hall of Fame quarterback Bart Starr. Many did not give Detroit a chance of winning.
In recent years, when the Lions played on Thanksgiving Day, most people outside of Michigan were deciding if they should get a second drumstick or take a nap. Lions games were great times to go outside and toss around the football. If there ever was an opportunity to look through a newspaper for Black Friday ads, the Lions game was it.
