November 22, 1945, after a six-year absence due to league scheduling and World War II travel restrictions, the Lions play their first Thanksgiving game, losing to Cleveland, 28-21 at Briggs Stadium.

November 22, 1962, the Lions defeat the Green Bay Packers 26-14 on Thanksgiving Day in Tiger Stadium. The Packers had come into the game with a 10-0 record and would go on to win the NFL title.

November 22, 1990, the Lions defeat the defending AFC champion Denver Broncos on Thanksgiving at the Silverdome, 40-27. QB Bob Galgliano throws three touchdown passes and Barry Sanders rushes for 147 yards in the win.

November 22, 1992, Barry Sanders surpasses Billy Sims to become the Lions all-time rushing leader.

November 22, 2012, the Lions lose their ninth consecutive Thanksgiving Day game, falling in overtime to the Houston Texans, 34-31. The Texans score a touchdown with less than two minutes left to tie the contest then kick a field goal in OT to disappoint the Detroit fans again on Turkey Day. It?s the longest losing streak in the traditional game for Detroit.

Fact and figures

* The Lions and Vikings have clashed on Thanksgiving three times in the series history. Detroit won the most recent meeting, 44-38, in 1995.

* The Lions are the first team in NFL history to have six comeback wins after trailing in the fourth quarter in the first 10 games of a season.

* In last week?s win, the Lions scored TDs on offense, defense and special teams for the first time since October 10, 2010, against the St. Louis Rams.

* Sam Martin has totaled a net punting average of 45.8 yards, which ranks the highest among all punters through 11 weeks of the season since 1992.

* With eight receptions last week, Theo Riddick joined James Jones as the only running backs in team history with 120-plus receptions over a two-year span. Riddick?s 123 catches ties Jones (123 in 1983-84) for the most catches over two seasons.
