The Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions will be the first of three nationally televised games Thanksgiving Day.

This one could be the biggest of the day and perhaps the biggest of the year for the Packers.

A win gives them a commanding lead over the Lions in terms of tiebreaker scenarios should they need that in the NFC playoff picture.

Running back Josh Jacobs hurt his knee against the New York Giants and missed the game against the Minnesota Vikings.

How do you feel about Metlife’s turf?

Definitely the worst. It’s always been the worst. I know if I ever play there again, I will never talk about it because I talked about it all week, how bad it was, and it bit me.

Swelling?

Led by two sacks from Micah Parsons, the Packers’ defense held the Minnesota Vikings to six points, as Green Bay won its second divisional game of the season, 23-6 on Nov. 23.

Parsons closed out his fifth straight 10-sack season and second multi-sack game with the Packers.

While the offensive numbers don’t jump off of the page, Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings is the Packers most complete win of the season.

Green Bay has a lot to clean up on offense, defense and special teams if they intend to make a deep playoff push this season.

All three facets of the game have had their positive moments this season, but all three have also floundered as well.

How will they perform against NFC North foe Minnesota on Sunday?
