Most PPR fantasy points in a Thanksgiving Day game (since 1950):
45.2 Sterling Sharpe, ?94
42.7 Marvin Harrison, ?04
42.5 Cloyce Box, ?52
40.8 Emmitt Smith, ?94
40.4 Walter Payton, ?77
40.3 Jim Braxton, ?75
40.0 Brian Westbrook, ?08
39.3 O.J. Simpson, ?76
39.3 Randy Moss, ?98

The Detroit Lions, incidentally, have the best single-game fantasy point total from a team defense/special teams on Thanksgiving Day: Their D/ST scored 36 points on Thanksgiving Day 1962, against the Green Bay Packers.

espn
 
Today marked the first time since 2016 Week 10, when he was a member of the Patriots, that LeGarrette Blount scored 20 or more PPR fantasy points in a game; he scored 23.3. He snapped a streak of 33 straight games of sub-20 points.

Only four times in his 136 career NFL games has Matthew Stafford scored fewer than the 5.4 fantasy points he had today. This was his worst single-game score since 2014 Week 11. Stafford's final five matchups: LAR, at ARI, at BUF, MIN, at GB.

That's a crushing loss for the Lions against a backup quarterback who had barely played in regular season NFL games. Detroit wasted a pretty good defensive performance with an offense that had little efficiency and two fourth-quarter interceptions from Matthew Stafford that sealed the game for Chicago (one of the two might have been TE Michael Roberts fault).

espn
 
The Lions offense went missing for most of the first half, not surprising considering how many of their more important pieces are unavailable for this game (Kerryon Johnson and Marvin Jones). Most plays and drives look like a struggle to put together a cohesive group of plays and yards -- with the Lions crossing midfield just twice in seven drives (including starting their touchdown drive in plus-territory). The run game has been particularly poor without Johnson, with nine carries for 26 yards. Zach Zenner leads all Detroit runners with nine yards. If the Lions want to have a shot to win on Thanksgiving, they need to find some semblance of an offense in the second half.

Matthew Stafford Passer Rating
83.1 before Jim Caldwell
93.7 after Jim (2 yrs w/o Megatron)
Stafford has regressed since.
Stafford Record was 36-28 w/Caldwell but 28-43 without him.
The Lions fired a great coach & QB guru so Lions problems were predictable.
