The Green Bay Packers pulled off the upset.
Jordan Love threw three touchdown passes in his Thanksgiving game debut and the Packers curtailed the Detroit Lions all game, 29-22, Thursday afternoon at Ford Field.
Have the Packers finally found a worthy successor to Aaron Rodgers?
Detroit’s offense was troubled, losing three fumbles on the afternoon. The Lions were a horrendous 1-5 on fourth downs. To his brand, Dan Campbell passed up on cheap field goals to go for it while in range of kicker Riley Patterson.
Naturally Twitter was full of takes and comments. Here are some of the best to emerge.

Lions pregame show:
“Jordan Love… he’s just ordinary . He’s nothing special.”

Jordan Love deep ball ✅
Christian Watson catch ✅
AJ Dillon first down ✅
First drive TD ✅Packers exorcising a lot of their perceived demons on that drive. To quote whoever was near that field mic: LFG!

Goff to LaPorta for the 7-yd TD. Great catch. #GBvsDET

Lions drive down the field for a LaPorta TD. Patterson misses the XP, so #Packers lead 7-6.

Those are by far 2 of the most fun drives we’ve seen this season from the @packers. Keep cooking.

Why do I feel like I’ve seen this play called incomplete a million times? At least the Packers missed the EP https://t.co/fH53bN7Bk4

I’m sick of Jared Goff. At this point give us Bridgewater.
— Deakon Dozy-Aye (@Dozier_313) November 23, 2023
Jared Goff becoming a turnover machine is an interesting development for a good Lions team.

Somebody want to tell the @Lions that they are down 2 possessions not 1?

Sure do wish the @Lions could show up for more of a game against division opponents than just for comebacks 🤦♂️#HappyThanksgiving
— Matt Batten (@B4TM4Nest86) November 23, 2023
The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys shouldn’t automatically be the premier team we watch on Thanksgiving. They should match up two teams that performed well in the prior season.
