Thanksgiving didn't go so well for the Detroit Lions, and as a result the team is falling in the NFL power rankings. The Week 13 loss to the Packers dropped Detroit to 7-5. It was the Lions second close loss to a playoff-positioned team in three weeks. Here's where the Lions sit in various NFL power rankings entering Week 14.
