For the first time in a decade, Denver Broncos (11-2) stand atop the AFC playoff race heading into the holidays. They’re the league’s only unbeaten team at home. They’ve won 10 consecutive games and they’ve saddled their last 11 visitors with a loss going back 14 months. And they are 2½-point underdogs at home to the Green Bay Packers (9-3-1) on Sunday, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.

It’s the NFL’s Week 15 marquee matchup, a tussle featuring Micah Parsons and Nik Bonitto, Jordan Love and Bo Nix, and pitting teams with obdurate defenses and opportunistic offenses that could very well serve as a Super Bowl appetizer. Oddsmakers, though, have joined the legions of NFL fans who view the Broncos’ longest winning streak in the post-Peyton Manning era with equal doses of criticism and skepticism. “I love it. It fuels me, honestly,” Bonitto said. “I like when people doubt us. They can stay on that side. We’ll go out and prove what we’ve got to prove.”

Just like they’ve been doing ever since their last-second loss at the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3, which followed a walk-off loss at Indianapolis. Since then, the Broncos have set an NFL record with nine consecutive comebacks, a streak that ended last week with a comfortable win at Las Vegas, and tied another mark with four straight wins by a field goal or less. “Personally, I couldn’t care less,” All-Pro kick returner Marvin Mims Jr. said. “But I mean some guys feel disrespected by it.” Bo Nix isn’t among those who feel offended by the national suspicion of the Broncos’ championship bona fides — or those who install them as home underdogs. “My mom thinks we’ll win,” the Broncos’ second-year quarterback said with a laugh. “So that’s all that matters.”

Watson’s emergence

Packers wide receiver Christian Watson didn’t start playing until Oct. 26 as he returned from a torn ACL, but the 2022 second-round pick still could end up having his best season. Watson has scored five touchdowns, all in his last four games. He has 25 catches for 452 yards in seven games. The TD total is his highest since his rookie season, when he had nine. “He’s making plays, it feels like, every time the ball comes his way,” Love said. “I think he keeps elevating and getting better and better.”

Packers facing a streaking team

According to Elias Sports Bureau, this marks the second straight year — and the fourth time ever — that the Packers have faced a team that has won at least 10 straight games with all the victories in the same season. Last season, the Packers lost 34-31 at Detroit for the Lions’ 11th straight victory. The Packers won their other two times in this situation. They beat Detroit 3-0 on Nov. 25, 1934, and they defeated Seattle 23-17 on Jan. 1, 2006. The trip to Denver is sandwiched between two games against the rival Chicago Bears. The Packers snapped Chicago’s five-game winning streak with a 28-21 victory at Lambeau Field on Sunday. The Packers face the Bears again on Dec. 20 in Chicago. “What a great challenge,” coach Matt LaFleur said. “But also, I think there’s great opportunity that goes with that.” The Broncos also have a challenging stretch run with visits from the Jaguars and Chargers, both 9-4, sandwiched around a Christmas night game at Kansas City, where the Broncos haven’t won since 2015.

Premier pass rushers

Sunday’s game features two of the NFL’s most prolific pass rushers in Green Bay’s Parsons and Denver’s Bonitto. They each have 12½ sacks this season, putting them in a tie for third in the league. Since the NFL started officially tracking sacks in 1982, Parsons is the first player to have at least 12 in each of his first five seasons. Bonitto could join Simon Fletcher as the only Broncos ever to have at least 13½ sacks in back-to-back seasons.

Strength in numbers

It’s not just Bonitto the Packers are concerned about. The Broncos lead the league with 55 sacks, putting them on pace for 72, which would tie the NFL record set by the 1984 Bears. “I think they have a really solid group all around,” Love said. “It’s not just one guy that you can finger-point out, but all around that defense and especially that D-line, you look at it and they got playmakers and guys who are making plays and winning their 1-on-1 matchups. It’s a little bit different than a team that maybe only has one solid edge rusher that you make sure you get chips and lockdown that side.” And don’t forget Denver’s stout secondary, led by reigning NFL defensive player of the year Pat Surtain II. “There’s sometimes you see on film when he’s breaking on things before the receiver’s even breaking,” Love said. “I think it just goes into his film study, his knowledge of the game and his confidence in himself. I think he does a lot of things at a very high level.”

Packers player to watch

QB Jordan Love. This is the time of the season when Love typically heats up and it’s happening again this year. Love has thrown seven touchdown passes with only one interception over his last two games. Love finally has two of his top wideouts — Christian Watson and Jayden Reed — healthy at the same time. That should enable Love to continue thriving late in the season but he’s not faced a pass rush like this one.

Broncos player to watch

QB Bo Nix. In his second season, Nix seems to be hitting his stride down the stretch just as he did in his rookie season last year before Jayden Daniels ran away with Rookie of the Year honors. Nix has fixed his footwork issues with three straight solid games in that regard. Like his counterpart with the Packers, Nix will have to deal with an excellent pass rush that could disrupt his rhythm and the progress he’s made of late.

Key matchup

Packers edge rusher Micah Parsons, who has 12½ sacks, vs. Denver’s stout offensive line led by LT Garett Bolles, who has surrendered just a single sack this season.

Key injuries

Packers: Packers RB Josh Jacobs (knee) missed his second straight practice Thursday… DL Lukas Van Ness (foot) has missed seven of Green Bay’s last eight games… LB Kristian Welch, who contributes primarily on special teams, left the Bears game with a concussion… WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) played just six snaps and WR Matthew Golden (shoulder) played five against Chicago due to their injuries.

Broncos: Rising rookie WR Pat Bryant (ankle) didn’t practice Wednesday during the game plan installation. ... DT D.J. Jones (ankle) missed last week’s game, but was back at practrice as a full participant. ... Also back practicing are TE Nate Adkins (knee) and OL Ben Powers (biceps).

Series notes

Both teams have taken care of their home field throughout the series. The Broncos are 7-1 against Green Bay at home with their only loss coming in 2007 in overtime. The Packers are 6-0-1 against Denver at home. Of course, the biggest game in the series came in Super Bowl 32 when John Elway and Terrell Davis led the Broncos to a 31-24 win over the Packers, led by Brett Favre and Reggie White.

Stats and stuff

The Packers have won four straight to take over first place in the NFC North… This is the second straight week the Packers have faced a team that’s the projected top seed in its conference. Chicago temporarily had the No. 1 seed in the NFC before losing at Green Bay and falling to the No. 7 position… According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this is the fourth time the Packers have faced a team that was on at least a 10-game, single-season winning streak. The Packers have gone 2-1 in those games. They beat Detroit 3-0 on Nov. 25, 1934, beat Seattle 23-17 on Jan. 1, 2006, and lost to Detroit 34-31 on Dec. 5, 2024… The Packers have won nine of their last 10 against AFC teams… Jacobs’ 12 touchdown runs put him in a tie for third place in the NFL. He’s behind Indianapolis’ Jonathan Taylor (15) and Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs (13)… WR Christian Watson has five TD catches in his last four games. He had four catches for 89 yards and two TDs against the Bears… DE Micah Parsons and Denver’s Nik Bonitto are tied for third in the NFL with 12½ sacks. They’re behind Cleveland’s Myles Garrett (20) and the New York Giants’ Brian Burns (13). Parsons has an NFL-leading eight sacks in the fourth quarter or overtime. He also has a league-high 87 quarterback pressures, according to NFL Next Gen Stats… CB Keisean Nixon is tied for second in the NFL in passes defensed with 16. He’s behind Cincinnati’s D.J. Turner (17)… The Broncos’ 10-game winning streak is tied with the New England Patriots for the longest active streak in the NFL. Denver hasn’t won this many in a row since 2012, when they finished the regular season an 11-game winning streak during Peyton Manning’s first season with the Broncos…  Bo Nix is the first Broncos quarterback to record at least four rushing scores in back-to-back seasons. His eight TD runs are four shy of Tim Tebow for second place in team history… Evan Engram has 40 receptions this season, making him just the second tight end in NFL history with at least 40 catches in each of his first nine NFL seasons. Jeremy Shockey is the other… Marvin Mims Jr. had his first punt return for a touchdown

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The NFC North leaders are eager to show they’re not the same old Chicago Bears who continually took their lumps against the Green Bay Packers over the last 15 years or so. Chicago snapped an 11-game skid in this rivalry when it ended the 2024 regular season by winning at Green Bay. The Bears (9-3) have built on that momentum this year as they have the NFC’s best record and carry a five-game winning streak into their Sunday matchup with the Packers (8-3-1) at Lambeau Field. “I think throughout this whole year, what we’ve been able to accomplish has given us extreme confidence,” Bears quarterback Caleb Williams said. “And then, for myself, being a part of something that, everybody knows the stats of the Bears going up there before last year, it wasn’t the best. And so being able to be a part of that (win), being able to contribute to that, provides confidence for myself, and I’m going to exude that to the other guys.”

Chicago hasn’t had a winning season since 2018, but the Bears’ emergence doesn’t surprise Packers safety Xavier McKinney. McKinney was impressed with the creativity new Bears coach Ben Johnson showed as Detroit’s offensive coordinator when the Lions swept the Packers last season. “I knew they were going to be good,” McKinney said. “Especially whenever they ended up getting Ben Johnson, I was, ‘OK, they’re going to be a problem this year.’” The Packers also are feeling good about themselves. They’ve won three straight and are eager to regain control of this rivalry.

These two teams will face each other twice in a span of 14 days in a pair of games that will go a long way toward determining the NFC North champion. They meet again Dec. 20 at Chicago. “I feel like our team knows that we control our destiny at this point,” Packers safety Evan Williams said. “There’s a lot that’s to be said about the Bears and how they’re doing right now. They’ve put together a hell of a season. But at the end of the day, I feel like we all understand if we go out there, put our best foot forward and play our best ball, that we don’t feel there’s a team that can hang with us.”

Another frantic finish?

The two matchups between the Packers and Bears last season both were decided by field-goal attempts on the final play. Chicago’s Cairo Santos made a 51-yarder in the Bears’ 24-22 victory at Green Bay after having a 46-yarder blocked by Karl Brooks to end the Packers’ 20-19 triumph at Chicago.

Feasting on turnovers

Chicago has an NFL-leading plus-17 turnover margin. The Bears have 26 takeaways, four more than any other team. Packers coach Matt LaFleur credits the arrival of former New Orleans Saints coach Dennis Allen as Chicago’s defensive coordinator. “He does such a great job getting that out of his guys, but I also think it’s a credit to his players in regards to just, they’ve got tremendous ball skills, really, on every level of the defense,” LaFleur said. Chicago might have a tougher time taking the ball away from Green Bay, which hasn’t committed a single turnover during its three-game win streak.

Passing on it

Johnson raised some eyebrows Monday when he said the Bears are winning “in spite of our passing game, not because of it.” He walked that comment back somewhat the next day. “It is easily construed as I’m not happy with the quarterback,” Johnson said. “That’s not the case whatsoever. He continues to get better each and every week and I couldn’t be more pleased with how he played last week and I know what the stats say. Throw those out the window.” Against Philadelphia last week, Williams was 17 of 36 for 154 yards and finished with the second-worst completion percentage (47.2) of his career. He has completed only 53.2% of his passes in the past five games and ranks last in the NFL in accuracy at 58.1% this season, though the issues aren’t all on him. In the game against the Eagles, for example, receivers lost their footing on several well-placed throws.

Johnson feels blessed to be back

Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson felt “a little sore” and definitely “blessed” after returning from a groin injury last week. The two-time Pro Bowler didn’t think he would play again this season. “But God had different plans and God pushed me and told me I’m on His time and not what anyone else says,” he said. Johnson, who had surgery in September, was in on 61% of Chicago’s defensive plays against Philadelphia after missing the previous nine games. His only other appearance was in a loss at Detroit in Week 2. During one 10-day period in his recovery, Johnson said he consumed only fruits and water.

Surging Parsons

Green Bay’s Micah Parsons has six sacks in his last three games to improve his season total to 12½. He’s the first player to have at least 12 in each of his first five NFL seasons since the statistic started getting tracked in 1982.

Bears player to watch

QB Caleb Williams. Williams became the first Bears quarterback to win at Lambeau Field since Jay Cutler in 2015 when Chicago beat Green Bay in last season’s finale. If he’s going to make it two in a row, a little more accuracy would help. Williams has completed only 53.2% of his passes in the past five games and ranks last in the NFL in accuracy at 58.1% this season. He had a particularly rough time against Philadelphia, when he was 17 of 36 for 154 yards and finished with the second-worst completion rate (47.2 percent) of his career, though it wasn’t all on him. Receivers lost their footing on several well-placed throws.

Packers player to watch

WR Christian Watson. The previous time the Packers faced the Bears, Watson tore his anterior cruciate ligament. Watson returned to action Oct. 26 and has since emerged as perhaps the Packers’ most reliable receiver. Watson has three touchdown catches over his past three games and has 21 overall receptions for 363 yards in six games.

Key matchup

Bears RBs Kyle Monangai and D’Andre Swift vs. Packers run defense: Monangai and Swift each rushed for at least 125 yards and scored a touchdown in the Bears’ road victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles. Swift has 774 yards rushing and Monangai has 591 this season. Green Bay limited Detroit’s dynamic duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery to a combined 100 yards on 28 carries last week, but DT Devonte Wyatt suffered a season-ending ankle injury in that game.

Key injuries

Bears: CB Jaylon Johnson said he felt “definitely a little sore” following his return last week after missing nine games because of a groin injury that required surgery. The two-time Pro Bowler was in on 61% of Chicago’s defensive plays… LB T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring) has missed the past four games.

Packers: DT Devonte Wyatt suffered a season-ending ankle injury against Detroit… WR Matthew Golden (wrist) has missed three of Green Bay’s past four games… DL Lukas Van Ness (foot) has been out for six of the Packers’ past seven games… CB Nate Hobbs (knee) has missed four straight games… LB Quay Walker (neck) has been unavailable for two consecutive games… WR Savion Williams (foot) and DL Karl Brooks (ankle) also didn’t play last week… WR Jayden Reed (foot/shoulder) has been working his way back after being placed on injured reserve in mid-September, but it remains uncertain whether he will play Sunday.

Series notes

The Bears had lost to the Packers 11 straight times before winning 24-22 at Lambeau Field in their 2024 regular-season finale. Both Packers-Bears games last season came down to a field-goal attempt as time expired. Cairo Santos made a 51-yard field goal to win the game at Lambeau Field after his 46-yard attempt was blocked by Brooks to end the Packers’ 20-19 victory at Soldier Field. The Packers and Bears meet again in Chicago on Dec. 20. The two NFC North rivals play each other twice each season, and this is the longest they’ve gone in a season before facing off since 1998. The Packers’ 108 victories over the Bears match the highest total by any NFL team over another. The New York Giants have beaten Washington 108 times.

Stats and stuff

The Bears clinched a winning record for the first time since the 2018 NFC North championship team went 12-4… Chicago’s five-game win streak is its longest since a five-game run in 2018. The Bears haven’t won six in a row since 2012… The Bears haven’t won consecutive games at Lambeau since 2004 to 2007… Chicago leads the league in interceptions (17), takeaways (26) and turnover differential (plus-17)… Coach Ben Johnson could join George Halas in 1920 as the franchise’s only first-year head coaches to win 10 of their first 13 games… S Kevin Byard leads the NFL with six interceptions — two shy of his career high. CB Nahshon Wright is tied for second with five, and LB Tremaine Edmunds has four… Packers QB Jordan Love has six touchdown passes and only one interception in four career starts against the Bears. Love matched a career high by throwing four touchdown passes in Green Bay’s Thanksgiving Day victory at Detroit… Green Bay has allowed fewer than 20 points in each of its six home games, marking the first time since 1969 that’s happened… Packers RB Josh Jacobs has 11 touchdown runs this season, tying him with Buffalo QB Josh Allen for second place in the NFL. Indianapolis’ Jonathan Taylor has 15 touchdown runs… Packers DE Micah Parsons is the first player to have at least 12 sacks in each of his first five seasons since the stat started getting officially recorded in 1982. Parsons has six sacks during the Packers’ three-game winning streak. ... Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks caught six passes and scored two touchdowns at Detroit to match his career single-game highs. His 94 yards receiving were three off his career high… Packers LB Isaiah McDuffie has 31 tackles over his past three games.

2025 Week 13 — Green Bay at Detroit

Lions and Packers match up on Thanksgiving with much at stake in NFC North and NFL playoff picture

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Green Bay (7-3-1) at Detroit (7-4)

Day/Time/TV: Thursday, 12:00 p.m. CT, FOX

Series record: Packers lead 107-78-7.

Last meeting: Packers beat Lions 27-13 on Sept. 7 in Green Bay.

Last week: Packers beat Minnesota Vikings 23-6 at home; Lions beat Giants 34-27 in OT at home.

Packers offense: overall (13), overall (15), pass (14), scoring (13)

Packers defense: overall (4), rush (5), pass (6), scoring (5)

Lions offense: overall (4), overall (3), pass (8), scoring (2)

Lions defense: overall (10), rush (11), pass (15), scoring (12)

Turnover differential: Packers plus-4; Lions plus-5

When the NFL regular season wraps up in early January, the result of the Green Bay-Detroit game on Thanksgiving may prove to be pivotal. The Packers (7-3-1) are the favorites to win the NFC North and the Lions (7-4) are slightly behind them, according to BetMGM Sportsbook, even though both teams trail Chicago (8-3) in the division. That seems to make the stakes high at Ford Field, where the league kicks off its holiday triple-header. Green Bay can boost its chances of winning the NFC North for the first time since 2021 by beating the two-time defending division champion Lions and sweeping the season series to win a potential tiebreaker. “We’re getting toward the end here, so to speak, and I think every game’s a little bit more magnified,” Packers coach Matt LaFleur said.

Detroit has an opportunity to improve its chances to win three straight division titles for the first time since 1952-54, when the franchise won two NFL titles and lost in a championship game. “You couldn’t ask for anything better,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said. The loser could end up missing the NFC’s seven-team playoff in a conference race that currently has eight teams with a winning record with a little more than a month left in the season.

Star watch

Green Bay’s Micah Parsons had his 10th sack of the season in Sunday’s win over Minnesota, joining Hall of Famer Reggie White as the only players since 1982 to have at least 10 sacks in each of their first five seasons. Parsons had a sack in his Packers debut in a 27-13 win against Detroit in Week 1. “He’s a great player,” Campbell said. “I like our tackles.” Detroit will try to keep Parsons away from Jared Goff with offensive tackles Penei Sewell and Taylor Decker.

Gibbs going

The Packers held Jahymr Gibbs to a career-low 2.1 yards per rushing attempt in the first matchup, Detroit’s first of four losses when the dynamic running back was held to fewer than 4 yards a carry. Gibbs has been in a groove lately. He had 264 yards from scrimmage, the most by a Detroit running back, and scored a game-winning, 69-yard touchdown in overtime against the New York Giants on Sunday. “Home-run hitter in the truest sense,” Packers safety Evan Williams said. “Just a guy that’s really explosive when he gets the ball. He makes a couple people miss and he’s got that game-breaking speed to get it out the gate.”

Changing of the guard?

Anthony Belton, a rookie second-round pick out of N.C. State, played the majority of the snaps at right guard ahead of 2024 first-round draft pick Jordan Morgan against the Vikings. LaFleur wouldn’t say which of them would start Thursday but praised Belton’s performance.

Second chance

Detroit edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson was rusty at Lambeau Field, failing to have a tackle in his first game in nearly 11 months after breaking his leg in two places. Hutchinson has regained his form. He had a game-ending sack against the Giants, giving him 8½ sacks this season, and finished with a team-record six quarterback hits. “This journey on this road to recovery this year, my comeback season, it’s just such a blessing,” he said.

Packers player to watch

QB Jordan Love. Although Love hasn’t thrown a TD pass in three of four games for the first time since 2022, this is the time of the season when he generally starts heating up. He also has a knack for feasting on defenses each Thanksgiving. Two years ago, Love threw for 268 yards and three TDs without an INT on the holiday in Detroit. Last season, Love passed for 274 yards and two TDs without getting picked off in a win over the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving.

Lions player to watch

DE Aidan Hutchinson. He didn’t have a tackle at Green Bay in Week 1, playing for the first time in nearly 11 months after breaking his leg. Hutchinson has been much more productive after his rough start. He sealed Sunday’s win over the Giants with a sack, giving him 8½ sacks this season. He had a team record six QB hits against against New York. Hutchinson and Pittsburgh edge rusher T.J. Watt are the two players in NFL history with at least 37 sacks and four INTs through the first 50 games of a career.

Key matchup

Lions RBs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery against Green Bay’s run defense: During the Packers’ season-opening win, the Packers limited the Lions to 46 yards rushing on 22 carries. Montgomery had 11 rushes for 25 yards and Gibbs had nine carries for 19 yards. Gibbs has been much more productive since and rushed for 219 yards and two TDs while catching 11 passes for 45 yards and another score against the Giants for a franchise-record 264 yards from scrimmage for a RB. Montgomery has a history of performing well against the Packers.

Key injuries

Packers: RB Josh Jacobs (knee), LB Quay Walker (neck) and WR Matthew Golden (shoulder) didn’t play last Sunday and CB Nate Hobbs (knee) has been out for a few weeks. CB Keisean Nixon (neck) left the last game in the first half and didn’t return. DL Lukas Van Ness was active Sunday after missing five games with a foot injury, but played just six defensive snaps.

Lions: S Kerby Joseph (knee) will miss a sixth straight game… DE Marcus Davenport (chest) is nearing his return after being injured in Week 2… WR/R Kalif Raymond (ankle) left last week’s game… C Graham Glasgow (knee) and TE Brock Wright (neck) were held out of practice Monday and Tuesday… CB Terrion Arnold (concussion) was cleared to practice on a limited basis after missing two games.

Series notes

This is the 23rd time the Packers and Lions are facing off on Thanksgiving, making this the most-played matchup on the holiday. The Lions are 12-9-1 against the Packers on Thanksgiving. The Lions have won six of the past eight meetings. The previous time these two teams faced off in Detroit, the Lions won 34-31 when Jake Bates made a 35-yard FG as time expired. In this year’s season opener, Love passed for 188 yards and two TDs while Green Bay’s defense kept Detroit out of the end zone until the final minute. The Packers sacked Jared Goff four times in the opener.

Stats and stuff

This is the first time the Packers have played on Thanksgiving for three straight seasons since 1951-63, when they matched up with the Lions every year on this holiday… Green Bay is 3-0-1 in its past four road games… The Packers have won two straight and five of seven… The Packers gave up 4 yards and forced three turnovers in the second half against the Vikings. It was the first time a team had forced at least three turnovers while allowing fewer than 5 total yards in a half since Buffalo’s win over Cleveland in 2004… The Packers have allowed just 202 points so far, the fewest they’ve given up through the first 11 games of a season since 2010… Packers RB Josh Jacobs has 11 TD runs to rank second in the NFL, behind Indianapolis’ Jonathan Taylor has 15… Packers RB Emanuel Wilson had team season highs in carries (28) and yards rushing (107) on Sunday while filling in for the injured Jacobs… Packers DE Micah Parsons has 10 sacks this season. Parsons and Reggie White are the two NFL players since 1982 to have at least 10 sacks in each of their first five NFL seasons… Packers S Evan Williams has an INT in each of his past two games… Packers K Brandon McManus has made only 70% of his field-goal attempts this season, but went 3 of 3 in the Vikings game… Detroit is the NFL’s first team with at least 24 passing TDs, at least 15 rushing TDs and eight or fewer turnovers through 11 games… Gibbs is the NFL’s first player with at least 10 rushing TDs and at least one receiving TD in each of his first three seasons… Gibbs and Jim Brown (1963) are the two players in league history to average 9.5 yards from scrimmage with the ball in their hands with at least 60 touches in a three-game span. Gibbs is the only NFL player since the 1970 merger to have at least 400 yards rushing, four rushing TDs, 18 yards receiving and two receiving TDs in a three-game span… WR Amon-Ra.
