Jordan Love completed 18 of 30 passes for 234 yards and four touchdowns, two of them on fourth down, as the Green Bay Packers beat the Detroit Lions 31-24 at Ford Field on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2025. Micah Parsons registered 2.5 sacks and Green Bay converted all three of its fourth-down attempts while Detroit went 0-for-2, the margin that separated these teams when each scoring drive is traced back to its decisive play. The Packers swept the season series against Detroit 2-0, moved to 8-3-1, and pulled to within one game of the first-place Chicago Bears in the NFC North.

Game Notes
Jordan Love went 4 of 6 on passes thrown 20-plus yards for 126 yards and two touchdowns; PFF overall grade: 91.2, second-highest of his 2025 season; clean-pocket grade: 95.9 on 14 of 18 for 201 yards and four scores with three big-time throws; first Packer with multiple fourth-down TD passes in a single game since at least 1978, per Elias Sports Bureau
Love’s Thanksgiving record as a starter: 2023 at Detroit — 268 yds, 3 TD, 0 INT; 2024 vs. Miami at Lambeau — 274 yds, 2 TD, 0 INT; 2025 at Detroit — 234 yds, 4 TD, 0 INT; season TD-to-INT ratio through Week 13: 19:3
Green Bay passing game PFF grade: 91.8; defense coverage grade: 40.7 (season low, driven largely by Jameson Williams)
Micah Parsons entered with a PFF pass-rush grade of 92.9 (top 5 league-wide), 10 sacks, and an NFL-high 60 pressures through Week 12; career Thanksgiving sack total through this game: 8.5 in five appearances
Aidan Hutchinson was held to three hurries on 32 pass-rush snaps by the Packers’ offensive line
Jameson Williams — 7 receptions, 144 yards: both career highs at the time; dropped a fourth-down pass in the fourth quarter that would have kept Detroit’s final drive alive
Jahmyr Gibbs gained 39 yards after contact and six yards after the catch (PFF); held out of the end zone on 20 carries
Devonte Wyatt was carted off in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury; head coach Matt LaFleur called it “a critical loss for our team and our defense”
Amon-Ra St. Brown left in the first quarter with an ankle injury; Dan Campbell said recovery could be “a week or two, if we’re lucky”
Green Bay’s 91.8 passing game PFF grade came against a Detroit defense that entered as a top-10 unit in the NFL
Detroit fell to 7-5 with three losses over their last five games and dropped out of the NFC playoff picture at the end of November 2025, their two fourth-down failures in the second half defining a game they never led. Green Bay’s second win over the Lions in the 2025 season, combined with a potential tiebreaker now secured, left the Packers one game behind Chicago in the NFC North with four weeks remaining in the regular season.
