Lions play Vikings in meaningful game on holiday for change (Yahoo Sports)

Detroit's standout cornerback can't wait to play on Thanksgiving with a lot at stake for a change. The Lions will have a featured game on the holiday as usual, continuing a tradition that dates to 1934, but it will be very significant to them in the standings unlike many matchups over the past two-plus decades. Detroit (6-4) hosts the Minnesota Vikings (6-4) in a matchup of first-place teams in the NFC North.
