The Detroit Lions are looking to start 9-2 for the first time since 1962. Their ninth win that season came after defeating the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving -- the 12th time in a row the two teams matched up on the holiday. The Lions have a chance to write a new chapter in their history as they face the Packers on Thursday. It will be their 22nd time meeting on Thanksgiving -- the most between two teams on that date, according to ESPN Stats and Information. Though Detroit is off to its best start in years, the Lions still have to get over the Thanksgiving hump. The Lions have lost every Thanksgiving Day game since 2016, when they beat the Minnesota Vikings 16-13. The world looked a little bit different back then. Here's a look back at the last time Detroit won on Thanksgiving: 'Mannequin Challenge' goes viral, 'Hamilton' hype reaches new level, Running backs at opposite stages, 'Stranger Things' jumps on the scene
