This would mean Lions will have had a week off since Thanksgiving and Packers will be on a short week unless Packers bye week is 11/31.
The NFL really doesn't care about the players anymore. Why would you do that to the Lions? Give teams 1 Thursday game or back to back them. Don't force team back on to a 2nd Thursday game for a 2nd short week during the same year.

They short weeked the Packers twice in 2023.
