Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions | 2023 Week 12 Game Highlights 

Fun Fact: The Lions are now 0-13 On Thanksgiving When The Moon is on a waxing gibbous phase.

The best the Packers have played all season and maybe in the last two seasons. Win or lose this is what this team needs to perform like.

I like the play where aj dillion vaulted over a defender, and while in the air another defender tried to shove him, and he didnt move at all. What a unit.

Props to Owens for returning the fumble when everyone thought it was an incomplete pass😂

Why is nobody giving Rashan Gary any love? 7 tackles, 3 sacks, 3 fumbles caused. Sheesh!

The Green Bay Packers didn't just come to play, they outcoach and outhustled the Detroit Lions! I definitely got to give Jordan Love and Coach Matt LeFleur their props today!

I thought the Lions were past embarrassing us on Thanksgiving, I guess not. Props to the Packers, they played like they wanted to win.

I did not expect this from the Packers! That was impressive to say the least! I had the Lions burying them even before the game started!

These Packers rookies are turning into vets, and I’m all for it happening.

As a Packer fan, Jordan Love played absolutely amazing. And our defense rlly played lights out on these lions. Huge Thanksgiving win🦃!!!

My family didn't do a homecooked thanksgiving this year and decided to meet up at a buffet but it's heartwarming that some traditions like the Lions losing on Thanksgiving are still being observed.

Definitely Jordan Love’s best game. As a Packers fan, I didn’t even think we was gonna win

Lions never fail to dissapoint on thanksgiving

Jordan Love has been playing a lot better over the last 4 weeks of the season. His accuracy is on point, and the defense put plenty of pressure on Jared Goff to make him a runner. Great game by Matt Lafluer and his coaching staff, and the Packers are still in the playoff mix with new sets of players

Wow packers qb scouts are honestly incredible. To have 3 qbs in a row (Favre, Rodgers, Love) with absolute whips for arms and mobile enough to make plays with their legs is really incredible. Love might not have looked good the first half of the season but his arm talent he has is undeniable after this game. Green Bay QBs throw laser for bullets. I wish my Patriots had the ability to scout qb talent like their scouts do. Well done Love and Packers scouts

Lions' defence was exposed in week 7 vs the Ravens and has been a rumor ever since, with the exception of the Raiders game. Great game Packers.

I think the lions thought this would be an easy win

that Reed TD ball placement was ELITE

Packers got it done on both sides of the ball. Really impressed with Love's connection to his receivers this time. Go Pack Go!

As of today, neither the GB Packers are as weak, nor the Detroit Lions as strong as they seemed to be. Neither Love is as bad, nor Goff as good as we have been led to believe. Each team at this point in the season is already showing its true level. Go Packers, they played very well, and deservedly won as visitors against the supposedly best team in the NFC North Division .🏈 From Mexico, happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the USA.🙏

Never in my life did I think I would say this, but I'm surprised the Packers beat the Lions.

This is the type of packers team I expect to be playing at all season next year and following this team is gonna be special in years coming to develope, it’s gonna be fun watching an actual competition for the division between two teams when GREENBAY actually developes

The maturity of Love is undefeated, figuratively and literally in this sense

People forget that Aaron Rodgers went 6-10 in his first year starting with a team that was a field goal away from going to the Super Bowl the year prior and had 2 well established pro bowl receivers in Driver/Jennings. I knew Jordan Love just had to put the pieces together and the team in general being so young needed to grow and gain experience. You could easily see the Love had the raw tools and potential but even sitting behind Arod those few years there is no substitute for live action. Love and Watson/Doubs/Reed could be a lethal combo if they keep growing like they’ve been showing these past few weeks.

Let jlove grow with this young offense!! Don’t pressure him to be the next hof qb, just let him be jlove. That’s coming from a packers fan

Lions pass defense has finally been exposed.

The Packers jumped to an early 1st quarter lead, then played great defense the rest of the game. That helped them win this game.

I extend my hand to the Green Bay Packer fans. Congratulations! 🤝

Jordan Love played well today, and the Packers’ defense was clutch! 💪🏼

The Packers caught Detroit sleeping in the Lions den today.

Shocking, well played, hard fought win today 💚💛🏈🍻 It's always hard playing the Lions, even through all their bad years, they've been tough. GG to the Lions, I thought there was something more in my Old Fashioned when I saw the game! 😅 Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 🇺🇲🍻🦃

So Happy for Gary my man deserves this game for how hard he works every day Go Pack Go!

Jordan Love looked like a young Farve out there.

Lions fan here, I am worried about Goff. 6 turnovers from him in the past 2 weeks from him, we need to step up our game, GO LIONS!

What a good game. I love watching the Packers rookies flourishing. Go pack.

That first quarter was another planet.

Both teams have bright futures. I’m looking forward to them in the next few years. Good job packers!

Jordan Love might have found his groove, just seems more confident when he throws.

As a Packers fan this game gave me hope. Packers had 17 players out and every excuse to phone it in. They didn't though, they strapped on those big dawg boots and brought the heat to the Lions. All around minus the still too many penalties, and few baffling playcalls and mistakes, it was a great game and showed me alot about my team. Matt Lafleur was playing with house money this week and he knew it and said F it we are coming in hot. Our kicker is a cause for major concern though.

The best packers game of this season ! Defense was outstanding tonight ! Gary 3 sacks and 2 forced fumbles ! Jordan Love and offense played well too ! Good win for them

Can’t spell lions without the capital L on a Thanksgiving day🦃 Go Pack Go! 🧀💛💚

Packers bring in the win! And against a team that’s no joke this time around. I hope we can keep it going but Lions still got the division so respect to them 👍

You can see that young talent that the Packers have is only going to get better as they play together more. I can see the Packers becoming a major contender over the next few years as they grow together. Jordan Love is solid as well as all of the receiving talent and that defense looks good. Go Pack Go!

The amount of ads on NFL videos is absolutely insane. This is one of the main reasons their fanbase won't grow overseas.

As an Eagles fan I want to say Thank you to the Packers 🎉❤

Good game Packers from a humble Lions fan.

Happy for Jordan Love. Most in the mainstream media gave up on him. Despite being in the NFL for a few years. He's still only started less than a season. From a Vikings fan.

That 3rd quarter td to watson was a aaron rodgers accuracy type throw

Jack Harlow and Jared Goff ruining Thanksgiving so far 🤣

Go pack go let’s run the table 🗣️💚

Congrats to Packers fans! Jordan Love is looking really good...

As a Dolphins fan who was cheering for Lions here, this exactly why we can't look past the Jets tomorrow. Good win for the Pack. Lions, go rest and regroup.👍

That game was great. Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that you have a good Thanksgiving this year. Packers take the win, 29-22. Go Pack Go!

WHAT A WIN! Where the Love haters at? Hope he owns Minnesota on New Year’s Eve

Crazy that the Packers had a number of missed opportunities and errors (2 crucial drops, and that miss to Watson at the end), but still managed to beat the Lions handily.

The Packers win against the Lions for the first time since September 2021 and their first Thanksgiving game since 2011. All of a sudden the Packers can possibly sneak in to the playoffs #GoPackGo

Lions took Lambeau, Packers take Ford Field on Thanksgiving. Serious issues plaguing my Lions and it hurts to keep losing on this day every year! At least it’s not a sweep for either team and Happy Thanksgiving everyone… I guess :(

Dan Campbell was over aggressive in this game trying to go for it on 4th down. His offense 0-5 on 4th down, the defense once again giving up big plays in the passing game. This Lions has been eaten up for dinner on thanksgiving

Who saw that coming? Strange season - any time one of the Super Bowl contenders picks up some momentum they suddenly crash and burn. Packers transformed out of nowhere - both defence and offense putting in a huge shift. If they carry on like that they might just salvage their campaign.

As a Packers fan..I Love how Jordan played...LOL 😂😂 I'm happy the packers won..and this is how they need to play games...🤗🦃🏈

I don’t think anyone was expecting this

j love looked like a franchise qb today

Love is still learning, but man. His passes at times are so pin point accurate. 2 more years of building around him its done and a super bowl contender for sure.

It would be really nice to see the Thanksgiving Day tradition - Packers vs. Lions - start up again and continue. 👍 😊

Feel bad for another fellow cat team but gotta give credit to the Packers, man. They looked more ready in this game than the Lions.

Matt LaFluer's best coached game, Jordan Love's best game ever and teams are figuring out that if you apply a lot of pressure on Goff, he'll turn it over. Lions got away with some sloppy play last week, but now it's time to address those issues. And not go for it on 4th down from your own 23.

Jordan Love man what a game for the guy and the packers defense came out clutch as always Detroit Lions looks like that thanksgiving day streak will have to wait I thought the Lions were gonna come out ready today but wow I’m surprised they really lost this

This season shows a lot of promise as a rebuilding season. Out of 11 games now played, only in one game did the defense allow more than 25 points, and that was the first game against the Lions (34). That’s one of the most respectable defensive seasons they’ve put together in years. The offense obviously is recalibrating, but it’s a very young offense, and they have a lot of growing to do, and they’re already able to put together a game like this. Love is becoming more comfortable under center, receivers like Doubs and Watkins are showing what they’re capable of, and our running game just can’t be stopped, whether it’s Jones or Dillon. If we don’t make the playoffs this year, as long as we stay healthy, I put us back on top of the division next year, for sure!

HUGE WIN!!! Go Pack Go!

The Packers thought the lions were the thanksgiving dinner💀

There is no one miracle cure for the Lion's problems, but the lack of a pass rush is of primary concern. I was pushing for an edge to bookmark Hutchinson on the other side before the trade deadline. We have been having troulbe with mobile QB's since forever, and leaving an escape route on the opposite side of Hutch is not helping. Our O line is one of the best, and we have a very competent duo at RB with Montgomery and Gibbs. We have LaPorta, St. Brown, Jamo, and Reynolds to catch passes. But on defense we have Hutchinson and Branch. Hutch is getting double teamed and held on almost every play and Branch has not been able to be effective because the D line can't stuff the line and we have no secondary that can defend against a good passer. I believe an elite edge opposite Hutch would be a huge improvement to our pass rush, and therefore our overall ability to harass the passer. Allowing a QB 3-6 seconds to find an open receiver is asking for trouble. And the Lions have got that. They've got trouble.

Nice to see Dan Campbell's aggressive approach finally show it's negative side. That aggression is what took the Packers out of the playoffs last year and it felt good to see it sit the Lions down today!

Not seeing the winning players get turkey legs after the game IS an insult to John Maddens memory!!

Happy turkey day everyone 🦃 🏈

Seemed like a good game. And for some reason, I was imagining Barry Sanders huddled up and about to get him the ball. That dude was phenomenal.

Good to see love, in his second season, finally had a decent game. The MVPs are the packers defense, Watson, and Dillon.

I’m not mad the Lions lost. I’m mad we keep playing losing football. Aaron Glen and the front office need to help the D line get pass rush. Teams are just gonna start with the ball score and hold a lead in front of us. And our O line needs more depth on the interior. Ugh

GG packers from a lions fan yall just wanted it more and it showed love looked amazing and super comfortable. Onto Nola Detroit let’s rebound!

this is one of my favorite games of the year. makes me exited for 2024-2025

If Green Bay keeps playing like this, they'll get in the playoffs. I loved that Jordan Love fake. Perfect call.

The Lions ARE WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If Love keeps throwing, using all receivers, ESPECIALLY Christian Watson, they have a great chance to get into the playoffs and maybe make a run....GO PACK GO!

Packers played with house money today. Backup RB and TE. Back up LB. 7th round and UDFA CB and 7th round and UDFA safeties. And just game In and played really well.

The only thing that helps me get over this loss is that Tom Grossi probably is a very happy man tonight. GG Packers.

Impressive win considering how many key injuries the Packers had. And basically being 2nd year, rookie receivers and tight ends playing. Love still has to work on his deep ball accuracy. But lately he’s been playing great, with good decision making. He certainly has great arm talent and can throw lasers.Also has good mobility. I think everyone on this offense will only get better, they’re so young

Jordan Love surprises me every so often...but he surprised me this whole game. Packers had legitimate opportunities to score 50 this game. He showed that he actually has some potential. And oh, AJ Dillon seems to be improving in small increments to what I thought he'd be a bit sooner.

Man green bays d-line was just blowing the o-line for Detroit up all game!

As a Chicago Bears fan, I can honestly say that the Chicago Bears always have been and always will be the Chicago Bears.

You Packer fans gon learn to appreciate Love and put some respect on that young man's name!

This Thanksgiving has already been special as it is spending time with my fam and friends but this just really made today, XTRA special 🙌🏽🤗💚💛🏈🦃

Vikes fan here. Impressive game/win by Love & Co. GB did MN a solid with this win!

Fun fact- Michigan Gary way better than Michigan Hutchinson

WTG PACKERS!! best game of the season.....NICE JOB

As a lions fan…the packers did their thing and got it done hats off to the cheese heads and Jordan love for really coming into his own and outplaying Goff who’s really been struggling these past few weeks, we destroyed them in their home so they just returned the favor! Gotta love some good friendly competition!

It's not too late for the Lions to miss the playoffs! At this rate that defense wouldn't be able to stop any playoff QBs anyways.

I’m gonna watch this on loop for hours

0:30 that was a really nice throw

Hope Lions fans enjoy a nice big slice of humble pie.

Was ready to give up on this year. The way they have stepped up with all the injuries. GO PACK GO!

I'm very proud of my Packers because I was really honestly thinking that they're going to lose this game because Lions is a better team than the Packers this year because Claire's I keep getting injured on the Packers list and Jordan love is still growing as the lead quarterback for the Green Bay Packers plus the young wide receivers are still growing and Jordan love is looking for that one top wide receiver. The Packers keep up the good work they will be in the playoffs but they have to win every game if they lose one more game I just don't know it depends on our division and other teams. If the Packers make it to the playoffs to me that will be like for them going to the super bowl. Packers did a well-designed of this game of them defeating the Lions they did a better job of coming up with schemes and better plays. Keep up the good work Packers and keep your heads up high don't read up on the media or what other people say about you you guys are still a young team especially you Jordan love don't let anybody get you down because I know some packer fans through the NFL Network saying the kick Jordan love out of the Packers. We have to give your love a little more time just like Aaron Rodgers when he started his rookie year and his first season and if you can pair Aaron Rodgers status of his first rookie season in the NFL and Jordan loves first season of the games that he's playing so far they're not too far apart.
