Thursday Night Football: Packers vs. Lions

Football

Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season will kickoff with an NFC North battle on Thursday Night Football featuring the Green Bay Packers (9-3) on the road against the Detroit Lions (11-1).

The Packers lead the all-time series between these division opponents, 104-77-7, but the Lions have won five of their six most-recent meetings. They last faced off a month ago, in early-November, with the Lions winning 24-14 in Green Bay.

Detroit currently sits at the top of the NFC, and a loss on Thursday night would go a long way toward the Eagles controlling their destiny for the No. 1 spot in the conference — complete with a first round bye and homefield advantage.

Go Pack Go!

DET LOSS tonight #Eagles will need just one MIN loss to control own fate for NFC 1 seed (would win 15-2 tiebreaker over DET but not MIN).

DET WIN tonight Eagles will need DET to lose TWO of last four plus a MIN loss (would lose 15-2 tiebreaker to both).#TNF https://t.co/DGL1Uc7wHp
