Top 5 Thanksgiving games in Detroit Lions history

He finished with eight catches for 93 yards and three touchdowns, which ties a career high for scores.

Johnsons touchdown catch in the second quarter was his ninth Thanksgiving Day touchdown catch. Besides Stafford and Johnson, other standout Lions included Golden Tate (seven catches and a score), Ziggy Ansah (3.5 sacks, forced fumble and fumble recovery), and Theo Riddick (five catches and a score). They have allowed at least 45 points in two straight games in one season for the first time in team history, according to STATS.

It gives the impression this is a team that has quit on Chip Kelly, and quit on themselves. Of all the people we have to go up there and try to stop, we’ve got Brady and the undefeated Patriots coming at you. He’s spent the past two season with the Eagles.

Sanchez continued to struggle to get any kind of a rhythm going on offense for Philadelphia, taking another sack before the end of the third quarter, while Ansah got to him again at the start of the fourth. The Eagles’ passing defense has improved over the year, but they are far more susceptible to the pass on the road than they are at home. We didn’t really do anything well today, so it’s very disappointing.

Sanchez was taken with the fifth pick of the 2009 draft, four picks after the Lions selected Matthew Stafford No. 1 overall.

The Eagles came back and put together a nice drive which ended with Mark Sanchez hitting Brent Celek for a one yard TD throw on a crossing route. Stafford threw for more than 200 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover by halftime, helping the Lions lead 24-7. After that, the Eagles defense looked gassed, and rookie cornerback Eric Rowe appeared to lose confidence. The new mix never developed any chemistry and now the team has completely fallen apart.

Kelly was asked where this loss ranks in terms of disappointment for him: “Right at the top”, he said.

And on Turkey Day back in 2010, Sanchez also got the win, helping the Jets beat the Cincinnati Bengals 26-10.

It’s unclear whether Sam Bradford will be the starting quarterback today as he comes off injury. Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters left the game with an ankle injury on the Eagles’ first possession.

Still, the Lions took complete advantage of the defensive miscues which is something they wouldnt have always done in the past. Lane Johnson moved from right tackle to left tackle, while Dennis Kelly replaced Johnson on the right side. They had two three-and-outs. Carroll has appeared in every game over the last three seasons, the last two with Philadelphia. He also carried the ball twice for six yards. It went for 43 yards, which stood as the Eagles’ longest play of the day, and set up a touchdown.
