The Detroit Lions have made a tradition of losing on Thanksgiving, with five wins on Turkey Day in their past 20 tries. And, of course, that tradition has included making opposing quarterbacks look like Pro Bowlers, with 12 of them posting single-game passer ratings of at least 100 over that span.
But in the Lions' 41-25 loss Thursday, Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson took it to another level, completing 68% of his passes (17-for-25) for 318 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. That’s a 150.4 passer rating — the second-highest against the Lions on Thanksgiving since 1950.
