memories of Thanksgiving Day...

i know that the Detroit Lions play the Houston Texans,this Thanksgiving,but i have to remind football fans of a Thanksgiving Day game,in 1962,between the Packers and Detroit Lions... on November 23,1962,the Packers played the Lions,in Detroit... many people consider the 1962 Packers the best team that Packers' head coach Vince Lombardi ever coached,and one of the best teams in NFL history,period... they went into Detroit that day undefeated,10-0,and the Lions wanted payback,for a 9-7 Lions' loss,in 1961,in which the Packers intercepted Lions' quarterback Milt Plum,to set up the winning field goal,for the Packers,and after the game,they tore up their locker room,so badly that noise could be heard in the Packers' locker room... so the Lions smoked the Packers that day,26-14,in which the Lions shut out the Packers,23-0,in the first half,sacked Packers' quarterback Bart Starr eleven times,for 110 yards,and basically destroyed the Packers that Thanksgiving Day,50 years ago... that game was the only loss that year,for the Packers,who won the 1962 NFL Championship,over the New York Giants,16-7... one game,in 1962,they beat the Philadelphia Eagles,49-0,in which the Packers offense gained 628 yards,to Philadelphia's 54 yards... that was just mentioned to remind the folks how powerful the Packers were that year...
