The Detroit Lions are having a tough time stringing together wins this season.

Detroit has alternated between winning and losing each week dating back to Week 5 against Cincinnati. Their 31-24 loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving drops the Lions' record to 7-5 on the season as the Packers (8-3-1) take the season sweep of Detroit and a one-and-a-half game lead over the Lions in the NFC North standings.

Already down their starting center (Graham Glasgow), left guard (Christian Mahogany), top two tight ends (Sam LaPorta & Brock Wright) and No. 3 wide receiver (Kalif Raymond), Detroit was forced to play 51 minutes Thursday without top wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown , who left with six minutes remaining in the first quarter with an ankle injury and did not return.
