"I know how special it is and I know how much it means to the city and how far it dates back in history," Bush said. "This game started in what, the 1930s? That's a long time. A long of guys that have come before us have paved the way for us to be here, so we've got to do it the right way."
"If you told us at the beginning of the season we'd be first place in Thanksgiving we'd have five games to play, an opportunity to go win our division, I think we'd relish that opportunity," Schwartz added, "and we're going to."
After being selected No. 1 overall in the 2009 NFL draft, this city and these fans need you to be the best QB in the league and lead this team to a Super Bowl.
The Detroit Lions have a decent excuse if they do not want to talk about last weekend's head-scratching loss to Tampa Bay.
Nate Burleson caught a touchdown pass in his first game back from an arm injury, then held the ball aloft like it was a freshly made pizza.
So much quarterback drama with the Packers.
Packers left guard called the Lions scumbags and he said it starts with Schwartz.
Thanksgiving Day at Ford Field will look a little different this year as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Blue Care Network and the Detroit Lions team up to send important messages about our health and community.
When reporters inquired Monday whether such a meeting took place, Stafford said it did not and that it did not need to.

"Our mindset, it just wasn't where it needed to be," Bush said.
In the midst of a mistake-riddled loss, wide receiver Nate Burleson provided something of a silver lining,
Matthew Stafford's fourth interception went in and out of Calvin Johnson's hands inside the Tampa Bay 5 in the final minute, allowing the Buccaneers to hold on for a 24-21 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Detroit will try to bounce back at home on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have won two in a row.
Detroit has four of its next five games at home, including Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, and only one game remaining against a team that currently has a winning record.

Calvin Johnson holds the undisputed title of best wide receiver in the NFL and may well be one of the best of all time. Many recognize Darrelle Revis as one of the best cornerbacks in the league. Sunday, the two stars meet.
Darrelle Revis relishes the challenge of covering the NFL's top receivers, so he's especially looking forward to a matchup against Calvin Johnson.
Schwartz insisted the Lions did not go away from Johnson; Linehan said they could not get Johnson the ball.
"Wow, I'm in a locker room with a guy who has his own shoes."
