1 Detroit Lions VS. HOUSTON texans The Detroit Lions will host the Houston Texans in the 73rd-Annual Thanksgiving Day Game on Thursday with kickoff set for 1 p.m. from Ford Field. The Lions have played 23 different teams since the first Thanksgiving Day game in 1934 and carry a record in the annual holiday classic. This is only the third-ever meeting between the Lions and Texans and the first since Detroit will look to bounce back from a narrow defeat against the Green Bay Packers in Week 11, while Houston is coming off a win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The game will be televised live nationally on CBS with Jim Nantz handling play-by-play and Phil Simms adding color commentary. The game will also air live on the Lions Radio Network (WXYT 97.1 FM) with announcer Dan Miller handling play-by-play, Jim Brandstatter adding color commentary and Tony Ortiz reporting from the sideline. MOVING FORWARD The Lions loss to the Packers on Sunday was a critical defeat in a game that could have gone the other way. A win would have gotten the Lions to.500 with a chance to start a hot streak to end the season with four of their final six games at home, including Thursday s Thanksgiving Day game against Houston. The loss may have dampened such hopes but has not extinguished the Lions fire. Calvin Johnson on playoff hopes: The season is not over, man. We ve got six games left I don t know what the picture looks like, but that s what we re fighting for. We re fighting for our lives. DE Kyle Vanden Bosch on his expectations: We have our regular coaching staff, our good veteran leadership. This team, we re going to keep battling. We ll put this one behind us and we ll move on. The ball hasn t bounced our way at times this year but we re resilient. This team has shown resiliency with our backs against the wall. We ve battled and battled and battled and that s what I expect right now. The one thing that a team in the hunt for the postseason cannot do is become a divided team. Moving forward as a collective team is crucial in maintaining the chemistry needed for a playoff push. LB Justin Durant on keeping the team on the same focus: Everybody just has to come back and work harder. Everybody has to be mature enough to look in the mirror and see what they re doing wrong and try to correct it and come in next week, be a professional and be ready to play. Going forward requires the team to both move on from a loss and prepare for an upcoming win. QB Matthew Stafford on moving on from a tough loss: Put a loss behind you and move on. Got a good Houston team coming in and obviously a team we re unfamiliar with so we have to get ready. Take a look at it. Durant on recovering from a tough loss: Yeah, you know, every loss hurts. But especially to lose it like this, it definitely hits home a little harder.

The Texans hold the best record in the NFL and will be a formidable opponent for a Lions team in need of a win. DE Cliff Avril on playing on the Thanksgiving game so soon: Body-wise you would prefer a couple more days, you know, physically or whatever. But that s part of the game, you ve got to play. But it does get the taste out of your mouth pretty quick. We don t have the 24 hour rule this week, it s more like a 12 hour rule. So you have to put it behind you, look at film on your own and try to make those corrections and then got to worry about Houston. Head Coach Jim Schwartz on how to avoid letting losing affect the team: You ve got to take your next opponent. We ve got a short week, we have Houston home on Thanksgiving day. That s enough of a challenge for us. SIXTY FOR SUCCESS The lack of consistency in every rung of the Detroit Lions ladder has made the 2012 season a difficult one to climb. Against Green Bay in the first of a three game home stretch, surges of offensive production were overshadowed by turnovers and miscommunication. Lions QB Matthew Stafford on the lack of consistency on offense: Yeah, it s frustrating. Obviously to have spurts of playing good and then just not being able to be consistent enough with it. That s the biggest thing. Gave them seven Statistical Rankings Team and Individual statistical rankings are based on updates through Sunday, November 18.

3 Media Information -- points on our offense, which isn t good ever. Lose the turnover battle against a good team like that it s going to be tough. I didn t play my best. We didn t play our best as an offense. Getting too many opportunities, turning the ball over too many times, didn t make enough plays. A solid defensive performance that held the Packers for the first three quarters and most of the fourth was not considered any consolation after giving up the late game-winning touchdown. The Lions knew they needed to be at their best for every single snap of the game and unfortunately they came up short when it mattered most. LB Justin Durant on the feeling of the team after a tough game: It hurts. To play as well as we did for basically the first 57 minutes of the game, then to lose it like that, it hurts. Just got to finish and that s something that we didn t do. DE Cliff Avril on bottling up the Green Bay offense: Yeah, we did a decent job, you know, early in the game. But towards the end we let it get away from us. But that s all part of the game. You ve got to be able to play all four quarters, all 60 minutes, and we weren t able to do that today. STAFFORD SHOULDERS THE BLAME Though his passing yards remain comparable to his record-setting 2011 campaign, QB Matthew Stafford s 2012 season as a whole has not been a repeat performance. His quarterback rating is roughly 15 points below last seasons and his touchdown numbers have dipped. With the most recent loss that included three Stafford turnovers, the signal caller was quick to call himself out. Stafford on being off against Green Bay: I didn t play my best. We didn t play our best as an offense. Getting too many opportunities, turning the ball over too many times, didn t make enough plays. Stafford was succinct in summing up why he felt he was unable to lead the Lions to a home victory over the rival Packers, simply noting that he did not do enough good things. Stafford on his play: I didn t play my best. Didn t put enough throws on guys Just not making enough good throws. The fourth-year quarterback knows that a 2012 turnaround will largely depend on his ability to spearhead a drastic comeback. Stafford on going forward: Obviously I have to play better to give us a chance to win Disarray is probably not the right word. Coming into this week we were the No. 2 offense in the League so if that s disarray then okay. But obviously just didn t play our best against a good football team and didn t come out with a win. A FAIRLEY CERTAIN D-LINE After a breakout game against the Vikings in Week 10 (11/11) where he recorded four solo tackles and a sack, DT Nick Fairley once again emerged as a key contributor on the Lions defensive line that made its presence felt against a stout Green Bay offense. Fairley led the charge against the Packers with a career-high seven tackles (four solo), two sacks for a total loss of 12 yards, two tackles for loss and a forced fumble, a dominating performance that was not lost on his teammates and position brothers. DE Kyle Vanden Bosch on Fairley s big day: Our d-tackles played a great game. Again, we had to stop the run with not a lot of guys in the box. Nick seems like he s taking big steps every week. That s going to help us. Those guys are playing really good football right now and it s coming at the right time. Offensive Production Through Week 11, the Detroit Lions offense is one of the top offensive units in the NFL, led by its top-ranked passing attack. Detroit ranks second in the NFL, averaging yards per game. In the air, the Lions have the best passing yards per game average with ¾ Detroit and New England are the only teams averaging over 400 yards per game on offense. ¾ Since 1934, the Lions are on pace to average over 400 yards per game over the course of a season for the first time in franchise history. The team single-season record is set in ¾ The Lions have moved the chains this season, having collected 242 total first downs (second in NFL). ¾ In the air, Detroit has passed for 171 first downs, which is the most in the NFL NFL Leaders, Passing Offense Rk Team G Tot Rush Pass Tot/G Ru/G Pa/G 1 Detroit New Orleans Atlanta New England Denver NFL Leaders, Total First Downs Rk Team G Total Rush Pass Pen 1 New England Detroit Indianapolis Houston Atlanta NFL Leaders, Passing First Downs Rk Team G Total Rush Pass Pen 1 Detroit New England New Orleans Atlanta Indianapolis Red Zone Offense In recent weeks, the Detroit Lions offense has increased its efficiency in the Red Zone as the team and improved to the ninth-most efficient unit in the NFL.

4 Media Information -- Schwartz also noted the steady improvement in his second-year defensive tackle, saying that he was impressed with his ability to contain Packers QB Aaron Rodgers from scrambling and prevent Green Bay from establishing a run game. Schwartz on the play of the defensive line: I thought our pass rush was very good today. We didn t devote an extra safety to the box very much to stop the run. We had a battle in there every single play and I thought Nick played well. I think pretty much across the board our defensive line played well. The Lions defense racked up seven tackles for loss against the Packers, three of which were from defensive linemen, and Avril added a sack of his own to give the Lions three on the day. The Packers started four drives in Lions territory, but Fairley and company led the defense to force a turnover on downs and two missed field goals, giving the Lions multiple chances to remain in the game. In the closing minutes, however, the Lions were unable to capitalize when they needed it most as the Packers ability to come back highlighted the importance of playing a complete game. DE Cliff Avril on playing all 60 minutes: As a team we played good ball except for five minutes of that whole game that basically cost us. We can t divide each other. We ve just got to keep building and keep fighting. BACKUS BACK-UP T Jeff Backus is a true ironman with his 186 consecutive Lions starts, but a hamstring injury had him coming out of the game early on Sunday. Coach Schwartz on Backus: He obviously wasn t able to return, he s got a hamstring. We ll get it evaluated. It was looked at enough to say he couldn t return to play, but we ll just see what it looks like as we get ready for Houston. Rookie T Riley Reiff, who has been making a name for himself as a sixth lineman of sorts in the past few weeks, came in to fill Backus big shoes at left tackle for the first time in his young career. Schwartz on Reiff getting pressure when he came in for Backus: He s a rookie going into a game. I think any team is going to do the same thing. They blitzed to his side an awful lot. Got a holding penalty. He s got to be able to hold up. Every player s the same way. Riley s a first-round draft pick he s a good player. We don t expect any drop off in the game, but it was his first time playing left tackle. We can always do better. CALVIN KEEPS CATCHING With 143 receiving yards on five catches, including one touchdown, Calvin Johnson continues to put up All-Pro numbers. He has now recorded three straight 100-yard games and has hauled in 24 receptions and two touchdowns in those games. With the recent outburst, Johnson now sits atop the NFL in receiving yards (1,117) and receiving yards per game (111.7) and is tied for first place with 14 receptions of 25+ yards, illustrating his affinity for making big plays. Though Johnson had a typical standout performance, Coach Schwartz is looking for more consistent play from pass catchers to help Stafford. Schwartz on the passing game: Calvin helped out, made a great play on a play down the seam to be able to get that one touchdown. We ve got to make more plays for our quarterback. Not every pass is going to be 100-percent perfect, but we ve got to make the other plays. We had a couple times today that we had balls go off our hands as receivers. We ve got to be able to come down with those and when they do get a play, we ve got to be able to make it. Fourth Quarter Production In the final quarter of games this season, the Lions offense has been on fire, especially in the passing game. Overall, the Lions have scored 121 points in the fourth quarter, tied for the most in the NFL. Detroit also leads in fourth quarter total offense (1,531), passing yards (1,278), passing touchdowns (10) and is fourth in passer rating NFL Leaders, Fourth Quarter Scoring Rk Team TD PAT FG 2pt Saf Pts 1t Denver t Detroit Chicago Green Bay New England NFL Leaders, Fourth Quarter Total Touchdowns Rk Team TD PAT FG 2pt Saf Pts 1 Detroit Denver Chicago Green Bay t Tampa Bay t NY Giants NFL Leaders, Fourth Quarter Total Offense Rk Team Tot Rush Pass 1 Detroit Oakland Tampa Bay Washington Philadelphia NFL Leaders, Fourth Quarter Passing Yards Rk Team Att Cmp Pct Yds TD Int Rtg 1 Detroit Oakland Carolina Tampa Bay Dallas NFL Leaders, Fourth Quarter Passing Touchdowns Rk Team Att Cmp Pct Yds TD Int Rtg 1 Detroit t Denver t Green Bay Chicago t Cincinnati t Minnesota NFL Leaders, Fourth Quarter Passer Rating Rk Team Att Cmp Pct Yds TD Int Rtg 1 Chicago Denver Green Bay Detroit Seattle Getting Defensive On defense, the Lions have held opponents from producing on offense and minimized opportunities for opposing offenses to score. ¾ Overall, the Lions defense is tied for ninth in the NFL by allowing 19 total touchdowns. ¾ Detroit s defense is tied for third in rushing touchdowns allowed with 3. ¾ The Lions rank 10th in total defense (328.1/gm) and eighth in pass defense (214.0/gm). ¾ Against Minnesota (9/30), the Lions allowed just 100 net passing yards, which was the lowest team passing output the team allowed since they yielded just 56 yards at Cleveland October 23, ¾ At Chicago (10/22), the Lions allowed just 125 net passing yards against the Bears. ¾ In four of the Lions 10 games, they defense has allowed less than 80 yards rushing, including 77 vs. St. Louis (9/9), 59 at Tennessee (9/23) and 71 at Philadelphia (10/14) and 64 at Jacksonville (11/4).

18 History Book Lions Thanksgiving Day Tradition It was, legend says, a typically colorful, probably chilly, November day in 1622 that Pilgrims and Native Americans celebrated the new world s bounty with a sumptuous feast. They sat together at Plymouth Plantation (they spelled it Plimouth) in Massachusetts, gave thanks for the goodness set before them, then dined on pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, maize, cranberry sauce, turkey and who knows what else. Actually, fish was just as predominant a staple. And history books say pumpkin pie really debuted a year later. But regardless of the accuracy of the details, that s how Thanksgiving Day is seen by Americans -- except Detroiters. They may have most of the same images as everyone else, but with a new twist that began in That s when Detroiters and their outstate Michigan compatriots found themselves at the dawn of an unplanned behavior modification, courtesy of George A. Dick Richards, owner of the city s new entry in the National Football League: The Detroit Lions. Larry Paladino, Lions Pride, 1993 Four generations of Detroiters have been a proud part of the American celebration of Thanksgiving. The relationship between Detroit and Thanksgiving dates back to 1934 when owner G.A. Richards scheduled a holiday contest between his first-year Lions and the Chicago Bears. Some 77 years later, fans throughout the State of Michigan have transformed an annual holiday event into the single greatest tradition in the history of American professional team sports. Indeed, if football is America s passion, Thanksgiving football is Detroit s passion. The game was the brainchild of Richards, the first owner of the Detroit Lions. Richards had purchased the team in 1934 and moved the club from Portsmouth, Ohio to the Motor City. The Lions were the new kids in town and had taken a backseat to the baseball Tigers. Despite the fact the Lions had lost only one game prior to Thanksgiving in 1934, the season s largest crowd had been just 15,000. The opponent that day in 1934 was the undefeated, defending World Champion Chicago Bears of George Halas. The game would determine the champion of the Western Division. Richards had convinced the NBC Radio Network to carry the game coast-to-coast (94 stations) and additionally, an estimated 26,000 fans jammed into the University of Detroit Stadium while thousands more disappointed fans were turned away. In 2009, the Lions Thanksgiving Day game against Green Bay marked the NFL s 75th anniversary of the first NFL national game broadcast. Graham McNamee was the announcer for NBC Radio for that historic game in Despite two Ace Gutowsky touchdowns, the Bears won the inaugural game 19-16, but a classic was born. Since 1934, 71 games have been played with the Lions holding a (.478) record in the series. And each game, in its own way, continues to bring back memories of Thanksgiving, not only to Lions fans, but to football fans across the nation. The Lions 73rd Thanksgiving Day Classic (11/22; 12:30 p.m.; CBS) will feature the Lions hosting the Houston Texans, who won the AFC South division last season. This year s game marks the first time the Lions will play the Texans on Thanksgiving and the third time in the series. The teams have split the first two games with each home team claiming victories. Thanksgiving Day Facts ¾ The series began with a loss to the Chicago Bears on November 29, ¾ A total of 72 games have been played with the Lions owning a record in the annual holiday classic. ¾ More than 4 million fans have witnessed the Lions 72 Thanksgiving Day games.
