Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions put up a strong fight on Thanksgiving, but the Green Bay Packers delivered an exceptional performance of their own. The matchup didn’t lack controversy either. Late in the first half, Green Bay appeared to commit a false start. The call was then withdrawn after officials ruled that the Packers’ sideline had signaled for a timeout beforehand, nullifying the flag.

The reversal sparked frustration among fans and even drew criticism from longtime commentator Jason Whitlock, who blasted the officiating crew and took shots at the league’s diverse referee lineup.

Despite the tension, the game still featured some memorable moments—one being Micah Parsons’ sack on Goff. Since joining the Packers following his trade from the Cowboys, Parsons has been a force on defense. His dominant play continues to set him apart, and he recently became the first player in league history to record at least 12 sacks in each of his first five seasons.

Jared Goff’s Thanksgiving Highlighted by Show-Stopping Halftime Acts

Off the field, the holiday matchup came with plenty of entertainment as well. Eminem and Jack White electrified the halftime show, captivating fans with a mix of new music and classic hits. White energized the stadium with songs from his latest project, and Eminem thrilled the crowd with a powerful rendition of “Till I Collapse.”

Things reached a peak when White launched into “Seven Nation Army,” backed by an impressive choreography from the Lions cheerleaders. Eminem’s daughter, Hailie, also made an appearance with her child and posted a clip of herself enjoying the performance.

Although the Thanksgiving show received widespread praise, questions remain about how fans will respond to the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show featuring Bad Bunny. Many viewers have criticized the NFL’s decision to choose the Puerto Rican superstar, with a notable portion of fans expressing plans to skip the show altogether.
