Thanksgiving came and went with Lions fans wanting to forget as much of it as they can. For the team themselves, this will be a benchmark game that is reflected upon as the season goes on and how it turns out.
The loss to the Packers opens up the division a little bit for rest of the teams outside the Bears. The Packers and Vikings now cling to slim playoff chances, whereas the Lions now face an uphill battle to a top seed in the NFC.
When you look at this game closer through the PFF lens, you get a different and deeper understanding from the analytics. Especially in a game like this where the score shows one thing, the film shows another, the numbers can help bring the picture to a complete understanding.
