Football's back for the official 2015 NFL season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The Green Bay Packers take the field against the Detroit Lions to continue Week 12 of the regular NFL season on Thursday, December 3 at 8:25 p.m. EST from Ford Field in Michigan. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the exciting Thursday night football game online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

With the playoffs fast approaching, Green Bay snags a Top 10 spot in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 32 professional teams (power rankings), while Detroit still lags a bit behind:

Packers (8): "Strange season for the Packers, who lost for the first time to Jay Cutler at Lambeau Field (4-0 previously) and lost their first home game against the Lions since 1991 (had won 23 straight)."

Green Bay now maintains a 7-4 winning record and is now 2nd in the NFC Northern Division.

Meanwhile, for the Lions (21):

"That's three straight wins for the Lions. Jim Bob Cooter has committed to the run as Detroit is averaging 29 rushes per game during the streak (19 rushes per game during 1-7 start)."

With that, Detroit holds an opposite 4-7 winning record and falls to 4th in the same NFC Division.

The Packers remain a wildcard while Detroit's still "on the hunt" for a spot in the upcoming playoffs.

Tonight's highly-anticipated game will be broadcasted live on your local NFLN sports channel.
