Fans Outraged During Lions, Packers Matchup
But even after a high-scoring 17-7 first half between the two NFC North heavyweights, fans were unhappy with the product of the Thursday Night Football telecast, which has become a recurring theme throughout this season. Amid the game, they expressed their dismay on social media.
"Thursday night football on prime is horrible," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter on December 5.
"NFL needs to flex good matchups out of Thursday Night games and put the s****y teams on Thursday Night.. It's a terrible product.. Not enough recovery time," another fan added.
Jamal Adams Sounds Off After Signing With Detroit
In addition to their explosive offense, Detroit has also made tweaks to their defense adding star pass-rusher Za'Darius Smith to their defensive front.

This week head coach Dan Campbell added another former pro bowler to their roster. Former New York Jets and Seattle Seahawks Safety Jamal Adams was added to their practice squad. When speaking to the media earlier this week, Adams was thrilled about the opportunity.
"I mean, there's no better opportunity, man. Obviously, just being home in Dallas and just continuing to train. When A.G. called, it was a no-brainer for me," Adams said.
"I mean, they've been kicking everybody's ass. So I'm fortunate enough to, again, just to be on a team that's rolling like that. And whatever I can do to help, that's what I'm here for."
