Thanksgiving and the Detroit Lions. They go together just like the mashed potatoes and gravy. And no matter how much people bellyache on Twitter, that’s not going anywhere.
And this year, people may actually be thankful the Lions are on their television screens. Dan Campbell has this team in the midst of a three-game winning streak and somehow in the hunt of the playoffs despite a 1-6 start to the year. The Buffalo Bills are an extremely tough opponent and a true litmus test for whether Detroit’s sudden turnaround is for real or fool’s gold.
