Jordan Love led the Green Bay Packers to an upset victory over the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving, extending the Lions' Thanksgiving losing streak to seven games. Love's impressive performance, including a 53-yard pass to Christian Watson on the first play, has drawn praise and comparisons to Aaron Rodgers. Despite initial disagreements with coach Matt LaFleur over the first play, Love's confidence and skills were on display, leading to a breakout game. The Packers' uncharacteristic decision to receive the ball first set the tone for the upset win.
