Pretty much all of the Eagles-Lions game on Thanksgiving day was made up of Matthew Stafford passes to Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate, and Theo Riddick. Every time you looked up from your plethora of food, one of those Lions had the ball in his hands, having just beaten a Philadelphia defensive back or linebacker for a sizable gain.
Just about the only thing that could stop the Detroit offense from moving wherever it wanted was a couple of protestors that ran onto the field during a play late in the fourth quarter:

To give you a little better shot of the sign they were holding up, it appears the protestors that rushed the field were animal rights activists.

Obviously, they were ushered off the field very quickly after crashing the play.
