CAN. YOU BELIEVE IT? THE DETROIT LINES WERE ALSO CLOSE TO SERVING UP AT THANKSGIVING VICTORY FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS. BUT
THIS LAST SECOND FIELD GOAL
SNATCHED AWAY THE HOLIDAY
CELEBRATION. WE ARE LIVE AT FORD
FIELD. BUT WE START WITH THIS
BREAKING NEWS IN ROSEVILLE
POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING A FATAL
CRASH ON EASTBOUND I 94 12 MILES
. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AT SOME OF
THE DAMAGE THAT WAS LEFT BEHIND.
DETAILS ARE STILL COMING
TOGETHER. AT LEAST ONE PERSON IS
DEAD AND SEVERAL INJURED.
ROSEVILLE POLICE SAY THERE WAS
SOME KIND OF FAMILY TROUBLE IN
THEIR CITY, WITH POSSIBLE SHOTS
FIRED AND ONE PERSON SPED AWAY
IN A CAR THAT DRIVER ENTERED
EASTBOUND. I 94 GOING THE WRONG
WAY, CAUSING A HEAD ON COLLISION
. AVOID THE AREA RIGHT NOW.
THAT’S EASTBOUND. I 90 FOUR,
WHICH IS CLOSED AT 12 MILES
BECAUSE OF THE INVESTIGATION. OF
COURSE, WE’LL HAVE UPDATES AS WE
LEARN MORE NOW BACK TO THE LIONS
FAN HOPES WERE RIDING HIGH THIS
THANKSGIVING. THANKS TO A THREE
GAME WIN STREAK TODAY. THE LIONS
SCORED FIRST THEY TIED IT UP,
BUT THEY COULDN’T STOP THE
BUFFALO BILLS. WE HAVE TEAM
COVERAGE, JACQUELINE FRANCIS
SPOKE TO FANS. SOME OF THEIR
REACTION MIGHT SURPRISE YOU
FIRST. HOBIE RTD LOOKS AT HOW
THAT WIN STREAK ENDED. IT WAS A
GREAT GAME TILL THE END GOODNESS
LEADING UP TO THANKSGIVING, THE
LIONS FEASTED WINNING THOSE
THREE STRAIGHT GAMES, BUT YOU
COULD HAVE CALLED TODAY THE MAIN
COURSE. BUFFALO, A SUPER BOWL
CONTENDER AND AWAY WIN WOULD
GIVE THE LIONS THEIR FIRST FOUR
GAME WIN STREAK IN SIX YEARS.
BUT THAT BID CAME UP A LITTLE
SHORT AND ACTION PACKED FOURTH
QUARTER, THOUGH THE LIONS DOWN
BY FIVE DJ CHART GRABS HIS FIRST
TOUCHDOWN SINCE WEEK ONE LIONS
TAKE THE LEAD. BOTH FELLOW WAS
LEADING LATE, BUT LIONS SET UP A
GAME TYING FIELD GOAL OF 51
YARDER FROM MICHAEL BADLY. IT
LOOKED LIKE OVER TIME. BUT WITH
23 SECONDS TO GO. THAT WAS TOO
MUCH TIME FOR BUFFALO, JOSH
ALLEN FOUND STEFON DIGGS FOR A
36 YARD GAIN AND THAT SORT OF
TYLER BASS FOR THE GAME WINNING
KICK AS THE LIONS LOSE THE TOUGH
1 28 TO 25. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE
PERFECT, BUT YOU GOTTA BE PRETTY
CLOSE, AND WE WEREN’T QUITE ABLE
TO DO THAT TODAY, BUT WE HUNG IN
THERE AND WE BATTLED, BUT I
STILL KNOW I KNOW WE’RE GETTING
BETTER, AND I STILL WALK AWAY
FROM THIS. I’M FRUSTRATED. UM
YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I HATE LOSING.
WE ALL DO, BUT YET ALSO KNOW WE
GOT A LITTLE BETTER TODAY THAT
MATTERS. I THINK THE BIG THING
IS, WE’VE BEEN OUT THERE. AND WE
PLAYED CONFIDENTLY. AGAINST THE
TEAM THAT’S REGARDED AS ONE OF
THE BEST IN THE NFL SUPER BOWL
CONTENDER. TRUTHFULLY I DIDN’T.
I DIDN’T FEEL LIKE WE WERE
OUTMATCHED AT ALL. PLAYERS SAID
JUST ONE PLACE SHORT, THE LINES
HAVE THEIR WINNING STREAK
SNAPPED AS THEIR LOSING STREAK
ON THANKSGIVING CONTINUES NOW
WINLESS ON THIS DAY FOR 1/6
STRAIGHT SEASON AFTER A SHORT
WEEK LINES NOW GET SOME REST AS
THEY GET READY FOR THE JAGUARS
COMING TO FORD FIELD NEXT SUNDAY
, BUT WHENEVER YOU LOOK AT THIS
GAME, THIS IS A TEAM THAT WAS A
9.5 POINT UNDERDOG GOING INTO
THIS ONE. HE PLAYED A LOT CLOSER
THAN THAT. THERE WERE A LOT OF
GASPS IN THE NEWSROOM LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. IMAGINE AT FORD
FIELD. MY GOODNESS, THE
EXCITEMENT THERE. THANKS, HOBIE.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, LIONS FANS
FEELING ALL THE FIELDS TODAY ARE
JACQUELINE FRANCIS WAS TALKING
TO FANS THAT THEY LEFT FORD
FIELD THIS AFTERNOON. HEY,
JACQUELINE. PRIYA. LIKE SO MANY
OF YOU. I WATCHED MOST OF THE
GAME AT HOME WITH MY FAMILY, AND
BY THE TIME I GOT INTO WORK,
WHICH IS A 20 MINUTE DRIVE, WE
WENT FROM BEING DOWN TO BEING
TIED. TO THEM LOSING AND WELL,
YES, THAT WAS A BUMMER. BY THE
TIME I GOT OUT HERE WITH ALL THE
FANS AFTER THE GAME WELL, IT
DIDN’T SEEM SO BAD. IN THE SEA
OF BLUE POURING OUT OF FRAUD
FIELD. EMOTIONS WERE MIXED. WE
CAME OUT. WE DID OUR THING. WE
JUST MESSED UP IT THEN. YOU KNOW
, I HAD NO IDEA WHY WE DID. THEY
PLAYED SO PROUD. SO PROUD OF MY
LIFE SO DISAPPOINTED THE LIONS
SHOULD HAVE WON THAT GAME BASKET
FANS ARE AWESOME GUESTS, AND
IT’S BEEN A GREAT TIME AND A
GOOD PARTY. PERHAPS MOST
SURPRISING THE CIVILITY BETWEEN
FANS ON RIVALING SIDES FANTASTIC
HOST FANTASTIC CITY. WE’RE HAPPY
TO BE HERE. THE NEXT GENERATION
OF LIONS LEARNING YOUNG THAT
THANKSGIVING DOESN’T ALWAYS COME
WITH THE WIND REALLY FUN. BUT IF
WE COULD HAVE WANTED TO BE
AMAZING, BUT IT WAS REALLY FUN.
TRUE DETROIT FASHION HOLDING
UNDER HOPE FOR BETTER LUCK NEXT
YEAR, IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE IN
DETROIT CHANGES NEAR BUT THE
CHANGE NEEDS TO BE NOW WE SHOWED
IMPROVEMENT. BUT I’M TIRED OF
IMPROVEMENT. WE NEED SOME WINS.
WE NEED SOME WINS. I SAVED MY
FAVORITE PART FOR THE END OF
THEIR BUT AGAIN, MAYBE BETTER
LUCK NEXT YEAR REPORTING LIVE
FROM FORD FIELD. JACQUELINE

ONE FAN WHO WAS JUST SO PROUD OF
HOW THEY PLAYED. I THINK THEY
REALLY SHOW THEIR STUFF ON THE
FIELD TODAY. THANKS JACQUELINE

DO ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD,
THERE’S ONE TRADITION WE CAN
ALWAYS COUNT ON TO PUT SMILES ON
OUR FACES. OF COURSE, THAT’S
ANOTHER AMERICAN THANKSGIVING

. VOLUNTEERS LIKE JUDY THOMAS,
WHO HELPED BUILD THESE FLOATS,
BUT SHE TAKES THANKSGIVING OFF
DETROIT LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT
THIS THAT BRINGS THE SPIRIT OF
CHRISTMAS TO THE CITY. CAN’T BE
BETTER THAN THIS TO INTERACT THE
WAY EVERYBODY IN THE KIDS AND
EVERYTHING, JUST LIKE IN
EVERYTHING OURSELVES JUMPED OVER
THE MOON. SHE’S NOT KIDDING.
THAT REALLY HAPPENED. AND IT
TAKES A LOT OF PRACTICE. WORK
PROFESSIONALLY, SO HAPPY TO BE

YOU HONESTLY, THE WEATHER IS THE
HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY. IN FACT,
IT IS SO WARM THAT MY MAN MICK

GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER SPENT
PART OF THE HOLIDAY GREETING
MEMBERS OF MICHIGAN’S ARMY
NATIONAL GUARD. HER OFFICE
SHARED PHOTOS WITH US. YOU CAN
SEE THE GOVERNOR ON A VIDEO CALL
WITH SOLDIERS CURRENTLY DEPLOYED
TO PLACES LIKE IRAQ, SAUDI
ARABIA AND JORDAN’S THE GOVERNOR
SAYS MICHIGANDERS, WHO SERVE IN
UNIFORM PUT THEIR LIVES ON THE
LINE TO KEEP US SAFE, AND SHE
ASKED EVERYONE TO HONOR THEIR
FAMILIES AND PRAY FOR THE
SOLDIERS SAFE RETURN. WE ALSO
KNOW MANY VOLUNTEERS WERE BUSY
FEEDING OTHERS WHO NEEDED A
HELPING HAND ON THANKSGIVING. WE
CAUGHT UP WITH THE DETROIT AREA
AGENCY ON AGING, WORKING WITH
THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY FUND TO
SPREAD SOME HOLIDAY CHEER. AND
OF COURSE, IT IS A VERY BIG JOB
. THOSE FOLKS WERE WORKING TO
SERVE MORE THAN 5500 MEALS TO
HOMEBOUND SENIORS AND ADULTS
WITH DISABILITIES WERE TOLD
ABOUT 250 VOLUNTEERS WERE ON
HAND TO DO THE WORK. THE FOOD
WENT TO NINE COMMUNITIES.
DETROIT HIGHLAND PARK TRAM IQ.
HARPER WOODS AND THE FIVE GROSS
POINTS. THIS IS THE 30 30 YEAR
FOR THIS TRADITION, AND HERE’S
WHERE THE EFFORT MEANS SO MUCH
TO SO MANY HUNGER DOESN’T TAKE
ANY HOLIDAYS AND THAT WITHIN OUR
REGION WITH WITHIN OUR REGION,
WE UNDERSTAND THAT ONE THIRD OF
OUR PARTICIPANTS OR POPULATION
THAT THEY ARE LIVING ALONE AND
THEN THE SAD EFFECT ABOUT IT IS
THAT MOST OF THOSE THAT ARE
LIVING ALONE ARE SPENDING 10
HOURS OR MORE BY THEMSELVES. AND
SO THIS IS JUST AN OPPORTUNITY
TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY’RE
NOT FORGOTTEN. AND THIS YEAR’S
MEAL INCLUDED CARVED TURKEY,
