The Lions will play on Thanksgiving Day for the 83rd time in 2022; they have put up a 37-43-2 record in their previous 82 games, including a 16-14 loss to the Bears last season. Detroit has lost five consecutive games on the holiday. Their last victory was a 16-13 win over the Vikings in 2016.
That’s a lot of “Primetime” games.

I will get out my crayons and draw you a picture, maybe then you can understand (although with your intelligence I highly doubt it)

Thanksgiving is a national holiday. There are only two games scheduled that day, one at 12:30 and one at 4:30

Both are centered roughly around meal time for Thanksgiving dinner. One game for the East Coast, One for the West coast.

The games have a National audience, this is what defines them as "prime time games"

Your pathetic attempt to try to define what is prime time and what is not is disingenuous.

Average viewership for an NFL game is 17.1 million

Viewership for the thanksgiving game (2021) for the Lions was 26.9 million , and then 29.7 million for the Cowboys.

Viewership for one of your "Prime time" Monday night games was significantly lower.

By comparison, the Bears - Steelers Monday night game drew under 13 million viewers

Now take another L and run along spanky, you are embarrassing yourself
That’s because the bears market inflated those numbers you imbecile.

No one gives a fuck about shithole Detroit.

You truly do need crayons because you don't even know how many games are on Thanksgiving. Jesus...you really are dumb.
Take your L and go away............forever

Nice attempt after getting your ass handed to you to deflect. The argument was not about if the Lions have been any good recently on Thanksgiving, it was about if it is a Prime time game.
Its a nationally televised game, but it’s not a Primetime game.

Again….go research what a Primetime game is and please report back.

if that is the case, why were they so pathetic against Pittsburg you twat?
I have no idea

One of the roughest stories is in Pittsburgh. The Steelers usually post local ratings well over 40. But this season, the last for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, the Steelers’ local TV ratings dropped 10% to a 36.24.

Lions in prime time? Oh yeah that’s right, they’re so irrelevant that no one cares, not even Barry sanders.

Again, it draws more viewership than any of your "prime time" games. And that my friend is a proven fact.

Of course Thanksgiving viewings are going to be higher, it’s a national Holiday and families love eating, drinking and watching football together. No matter how shitty the teams are (Lions).

I love how @nc0gnet0 is trying to use Thanksgiving games as his point, when realistically the Lions have received 0 views the last couple seasons in prime time game.

It’sa fact go look it up, here mongo

Fox's early NFL game (Detroit Lions-Chicago Bears) averaged 26.75 million viewers, a 14 percent improvement over the same broadcast window in 2020.Nov 30, 2021

2020
Earlier in the afternoon, CBS’s presentation of the Texans-Lions meetup averaged 23.4 million viewers, down 14% versus Fox’s analogous Bears-Lions broadcast in 2019 (27.1 million) and off 12% compared to CBS’s own Chicago-Detroit game from the previous year (26.5 million). Houston’s 41-25 victory currently ranks as the fourth most-watched NFL broadcast of the 2020 season.

Now go fuck yourself you little cunt

Prime time is considered a premium time slot when viewership is likely to be highest. The fact that Thanksgiving only happens once a year does not change this fact, and it factors into the equation when the NFL is handing out primetime slots.

Yes because it’s a National Holiday where families will watch any football team no matter how shitty they are. That’s common sense. How many views do the Lions have on prime time games the last couple seasons? That answer is simple…..They have 0.

I know it is a fact, Bears Lions drew 26.9 million on thanksgiving, Bears Pittsburgh drew under 13 million on Monday night. I guess all of the viewership in the Pitt game was Bears fans? Or wait, your statement has no merit.

The NFL considers prime time as Thursday NIGHT, Sunday NIGHT and Monday NIGHT games. Please provide proof to me where the NFL considers Thanksgiving as a prime time game. I’ll be waiting
