In a thrilling display of passing prowess, Jordan Love led the Green Bay Packers to a come-from-behind victory over the Detroit Lions 31-24 in the NFL's traditional Thanksgiving Day showdown.
Love, the Packers quarterback, delivered a stellar performance, completing 18 of 30 passes for 234 yards and four touchdowns. His most impressive play came in the second quarter when he hauled in a stunning 22-yard catch on the edge of the end zone while evading an incoming hit. The ball was heading straight for him but Love managed to control it with both feet grounded, leaving defenders grasping at air.
Love's touchdown passes were spread across three receivers - Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs, and Dontayvion Wicks. Each play showcased his precision and vision on the field. Watson, often billed as Green Bay's top vertical threat, collected Love's perfect moon-ball for a 51-yard touchdown that gave the Packers a 24-14 lead.
However, Detroit's Jameson Williams kept the game alive with a 44-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter, bringing his team within three points of the Packers. Despite Goff's efforts to rally his side, it was ultimately Wicks who sealed the deal for Green Bay, leaping high in the air to secure a crucial first down on fourth-and-three.
The win marked a significant milestone for the Packers, improving their record to 8-3-1. Meanwhile, the Detroit Lions fell to 7-5, their season now hanging in the balance.
As for Ndamukong Suh, he got his hands on the traditional Thanksgiving turkey, adding some levity to an otherwise intense game.

he was okay, i guess. 18/30 isn't exactly impressive. And what's up with Christian Watson getting all the attention? I mean, didn't we know he was a top receiver already 
love still threw him that sweet moon-ball tho, i'll give him that 
. The real question is, where has Goff been all season? 
seems like he's only coming alive in the playoffs or something 
That 22-yard catch was INSANE, he literally had defenders grasping at air and still managed to snag the ball. And Watson's touchdown was pure perfection, a perfect moon-ball that left everyone in awe. Christian Watson is for real, I'm loving his game this season!!! 
The Packers are totally on fire now, with an 8-3-1 record, they're definitely gonna make some noise in the playoffs! 
I'm so happy for the packers they deserved this win after all the hype surrounding their season. Christian Watson must be thrilled with that 51-yard TD 
can't wait to see what's next for these guys!
! I mean, who else can make a catch with two feet grounded and still throw a touchdown pass? 
. The Packers' defense was solid, but it looked like Detroit just couldn't get anything going after that fourth quarter. I'm loving this 8-3-1 record, though - maybe this is the start of something special for Green Bay 
. And who knew Ndamukong Suh had a taste for turkey? 
. but you gotta feel for detroit, they fought hard till the end. and omg ndamukong suh got the turkey 
i'm loving watson's skills too, he's like a gazelle out there 
️ green bay's lucky to have him i mean 234 yards and 4 touchdowns in one game? that's just crazy lol watson's catch was insane too 
but seriously, detroit put up a good fight but goff can't seem to get out of his own way sometimes 
and what's up with suh trying to eat that turkey before the game? did they not know he's gonna be on tv all day eating turkey
