"Jordan Love delivered one of his strongest outings in a Green Bay jersey, throwing four touchdowns and pulling the Packers to a 31-24 win over the Detroit Lions. Two of those scores came on fourth-down plays during a clinical first half that set the tone for the night on the opener for Thanksgiving. The result moves Green Bay to 8-3-1 for the season and hands them a clean sweep over Detroit, which could carry weight in a tight NFC North race."
"They opened the second half by turning the ball over on downs, and another stalled fourth-down attempt early in the fourth quarter deepened their trouble. Two plays after Jahmyr Gibbs was stuffed short of the marker, Love found Christian Watson for a 51-yard strike that pushed Green Bay into a 24-14 lead. Detroit later faced fourth-and-3 at the Packers 21 with the gap still at ten, but Jameson Williams could not hold a catch."
"The defense did manage a stop soon after, and Jared Goff guided a response that reached the Packers 4, only for Micah Parsons to break through for a key sack. The Lions settled for a field goal, trimming the score to 31-24 with 2:59 on the clock. Parsons walked away with two and a half sacks in total."
