Our Kid Correspondent is 12-year-old Evan, owner of the King of the Jungle team at Family Fantasy Sports.
I am writing this article for Family Fantasy Sports on the team I love, the Detroit Lions. It’s not easy being a Lions fan these days because they are not having a great season, again. But last week was the best Lions game I have seen and it gives me hope for Thursday’s game against the Packers.
There are some reasons for Lions fans to be thankful for their team this Thanksgiving. First of all, Matthew Stafford played a ridiculous game against the Browns last week and carried them to a victory after being down 24-3 in the first quarter! He is up for two weekly awards, the NFL Rookie of the Week and the NFL Player of the Week. He should win them both for sure since he passed for 422 yards and threw 5 touchdowns. Plus he came back into the game after injuring his shoulder, which showed his toughness.

The Lions are also playing on Thanksgiving in a tradition that they started. With the Packers coming to town, everybody is pumped up and ready for the Lions to start a winning streak!
Everybody should join the Lions Facebook page and become fans of one of the greatest teams in NFL history!
