The story is still being written. But so far this is one of my favorite teams of my 20 years of following the Packers. The reason why is that the attitude and the effort of the entire squad. Everybody fights and hustles on every down in every situation being down or being up. They may not always play the best. But this really is a football t-e-a-m. They kind of remind of the 2001-04 Patriots.

Watch Matt LaFleur's postgame speech to the team and Robert Rochell receiving the game ball and tell me that football team doesn't love each other. So much goes into winning beyond what happens on the field.

Wes, the victory over Miami was only eclipsed when Jordan Love received his prized turkey leg after the game and jogged behind Josh Jacobs who was carrying a huge plate of turkey, mac and cheese, and pie to the locker room for a postgame snack. What was on your Thanksgiving menu?

The locker room went to town on that plate, too. I'm happy Love had his moment. I know it was kind of a silly narrative, but credit is warranted for how Love has carried the baton for the Packers and developed into the face of the franchise over the last 1½ years. He's a chill guy who deserved that turkey leg. It also made for a cool visual seeing Love midfield with his teammates after the game.

How do Jacobs' successes this year compare to other notable seasons from other Packers running backs over the last couple decades?

Jacobs is racking up the superlatives. He now has 90-plus yards from scrimmage in eight straight games, the longest single-season streak by a Packers player since Eddie Lacy in 2014 (nine). He also has 100-plus yards from scrimmage in five straight contests, the longest current streak in the league and tied for the longest streak in the NFL this season with Atlanta's Bijan Robinson. Jacobs is on pace for 1,398 rushing yards this year.

Julian from Gastonia, NC

As Mike and Wes have pointed out a few times this year, we've stockpiled enough wins earlier this season and hoped the team would start to gel as the season continued. That seems to be what is happening.

It's no accident the Packers have played as well as they have during the month of December under LaFleur. While Green Bay has been the youngest team in the NFL each of the past two seasons, all six of LaFleur's Packers teams have played their best ball down the stretch. There's still plenty of work to do, but Green Bay has made significant progress during this three-game win streak.

Craig from St. Petersburg, FL

I didn't find out until after the game what Robert Rochell was and is going through. Makes me love that fumble recovery even more. Incredible moment during a difficult moment.

Same here. I interviewed Rochell shortly after locker room opened but wasn't privy to his game-ball speech or what LaFleur said at the podium. It's something we'll circle back on later this week but obviously our thoughts and prayers are with Rochell right now. Rochell may fly under the radar for many fans, but he's a beloved member of that locker room. Like I said earlier, you could tell how much it meant to the team to see Rochell make that play.

Craig from Brookfield, WI

To answer Maximus Decimus Meridius's question: Yes, we are indeed entertained! Which development is more surprising to you – the fact that the Packers are 9-3 with QB10 missing two-plus games, or the fact that 9-3 is good for third place in the NFC North?

I knew the Lions were going to be good, but I wouldn't have guessed the Packers would be sitting in third after winning nine of their first 12.

Margeaux from Tallahassee, FL

So much to be thankful for on a Thanksgiving Day punctuated by a Packer win. That being said, it sure was great to see Dontayvion Wicks rebound from an earlier drop with multiple hands catches along with his always stellar blocking. Would you say his play in Year 2 has a Davante Adams feel to it?

To an extent. Adams battled drops but also dealt with a litany of lower-body injuries in 2015. Once his ankle finally healed up, then Adams tore his MCL and missed the end of the season. I loved the strong hands Wicks showed on the pass near the sideline, though.

Pat from Hudson, WI

Josh Jacobs has a wicked "crossover"!

Jacobs could break someone's ankles in a phonebooth.

Doug from Eugene, OR

Gentlemen, I'm sure there is a nickname for the open-field move Jacobs put on the defender who would rather not be named, but if not, I'd call it a "stomp-cut." Another thing on tape for the opposition to factor in. The man is built like a Norwegian outhouse but has seemingly every conceivable move at his immediate disposal. Can you recall a Packer back with such an evenhanded yet widely diverse set of skills?

Uh…I think I'm gonna stick with my phonebooth analogy. But I agree Jacobs is a different kind of running back. He is exactly what you want from a skill-position player who gets drafted in the first round. Again, he's so cerebral with how he plays the game and physically is at the peak of his powers.

Jesus from El Paso, TX

If Jaire Alexander is healthy, his battles with Amon-Ra St. Brown will be my favorite thing to watch when the Pack is on defense. What matchup do you find most intriguing when the Packers are driving?

Anyone at any position? Kenny Clark and Garrett Bradbury, probably. If it's just Jaire we're talking about, then I'd say him and Stefon Diggs. That may be the best feud we've seen in Green Bay since Ndamukong Suh and whoever is playing guard for the Packers.

Ray from Phoenix, AZ

Well, here we go – the Lions are playing well, and we are playing well! This will be BIG BOY football with the trench play and turnovers deciding the winner. December football, here we go!

Detroit is playing well but looked human against Chicago, particularly in the second half. As LaFleur said, the Packers will need to play their best ball to beat the Lions, but Green Bay is undoubtedly playing better right now than in its first meeting with Detroit at Lambeau.

John from Hamilton, NY

Great win on Thanksgiving, what needs to be done to disrupt Detroit? Probably a common question.

Doing precisely what the Packers did against San Francisco and Miami and what they didn't do against Detroit in Round 1. Green Bay must get off to a fast start, build an early lead and protect the football. The Lions don't make many mistakes and are just waiting to feast on yours.

Phillip from Wonder Lake, IL

Can the Packers run the table and take the division?

They gotta beat the Lions next Thursday for that to even remotely be a thing.

Greg from Hales Corners, WI

I was not aware that you could decline a delay of game penalty.

You betcha.

Paul from Ledgeview, WI

The Packers gave a winning performance in the cold, but still SO much to clean up. How do we have defenders line up offsides? Is that a coaching thing, or are the officials inconsistent in calling encroachment, or...? Speaking of the officiating, after the non-call (missed call) with Watson, I don't think I know what constitutes pass interference.

The field judge missed one there, but I'm sure Love also would tell you he needs to throw a better ball to Watson. The offsides thing is befuddling. LaFleur said it himself not only after the game but also on Monday. "It's really annoying. You've got to be conscious. I guess we've got to drill it more. I got to get refs out there at practice to tell when a guy's offsides. I told those guys and, obviously, just telling isn't enough. We've got to start checking with the officials. It's become such a problem and it's going to kill us. It hurt us yesterday. That is one thing from the defensive side of the ball that we absolutely have to get corrected."

Randy from Fort Myers, FL

My wife and neighbors politely request that the Packers defensive linemen stay out of the neutral zone. Apparently, me yelling at the TV does nothing to move them back.

Well, that rules out one possible explanation.

Jeff from Mequon, WI

Hey Wes, I've been an outspoken critic of some guys on this defense that I perceived as "underperforming," but to give a little credit where it's due, the defense played very well against a high-octane Miami offense, making it a few good outings in a row for this defense. What do you credit that to? Finally settling into a new scheme? Individuals finding their own rhythm within that scheme? Regardless, cleaning up the fundamentals and being a sure-tackling defense makes this team tough to beat.

I don't have access to Pro Football Focus, but this felt like one of Green Bay's better tackling games. Like we discussed earlier this week, the Dolphins like to get their playmakers the ball in space and let them create. The Packers put a stop to that. Yes, Tua Tagovailoa threw for a lot of yards in the second half, but it came after Green Bay was staked to a three-score lead.

Wilbur from Boise, ID

In the last two games, both opposing defenses missed an inordinate number of tackles. Is that the Packers getting fortunate that they were tackled poorly or are they doing a great job of breaking tackles? I'm sure it's somewhere in the middle but curious to get your thoughts after seeing film.

You try tackling Tucker Kraft and Jacobs in the open field. It ain't easy. The Packers not only have playmakers but also skill-position players who don't go down on first contact. They also have a receiving corps that loves to block for one another, too.

John from Belleview, FL

Would it be possible to list all former Green Bay Packers that are now playing for another team in the league? It seems like whatever game I watch, they're mentioning a player who was a former Packers player. Given GB's success over the years, it speaks to the quality of the players that did NOT make the team!

That's a tough one to ask on Black Friday, as I already have one hand out the door. It's a big league with 53 players on every team, so connections are inevitable. Entering Thursday, it felt like this game might be the first in a minute where Green Bay's opponent didn't feature any former Packers. Lo and behold, however, Zach Triner gets called up from the Dolphins' practice squad to snap.

Ronnie from Greenville, NC

Isn't it nice not to have to hold our breath every time a crucial field goal is attempted?

No disrespect to Anders Carlson, who's kicked well for San Francisco and the New York Jets this year, but really, it's the extra points for me. No kicker bats 1.000, but McManus has calmed the waters on the more rudimentary kicks.

Al from Green Bay, WI

9-3 and in third place. Stunning! Solid win vs. the Fins, while the Lions held on for dear life at home against the Bears. GB has been criticized by some for not properly "finishing off" their opponents, squeaking out wins. But can't the same be said for Detroit and Minnesota? And KC, and…

The Packers dominated San Francisco and Miami after scooting past a team that just fired its head coach…and they all counted the same in the win column.

Steve from Phoenix, AZ

As pathetic as the Bears' game management was at the end, it seemed to me that Caleb Williams threw a good ball and Rome Odunze was so busy crying for a flag that he neglected to make his best effort to catch the ball and potentially save the day.

I don't know what to make of the Bears, truly. I think Williams and Odunze are real guys, but something is off there in Chicago. You can say whatever you want about Matt Eberflus, but I'm not a fan of throwing your head coach on a 9 a.m. Zoom and firing him afterwards.

Chuck from Jackson, WI

"I have no interest in soothing egos nor keeping track of how many times I hit the delete button." Shades of Vic! Well said. Thanks to you guys for the good work you do.

Spoff has come here to chew bubble gum and soothe egos…and he's all out of egos worth soothing.

Jeff from Montclair, VA

Great team win on Thursday night. I hope you both got some family time somewhere in there...Question about officiating and the complexity of the game. Have we reached a point where the rules are so complex the networks all have rules analysts to explain the calls? Or is it just a gimmick for us dumb fans who don't know any better (I say that facetiously)?

It's a sum of the whole. The NFL has a laundry list of rules to begin with. Then, you add in the proliferation of challenges and replay reviews that require networks to help explain to fans what they're seeing.

Tom from Nolanville, TX

Insiders, after viewing two complete Thanksgiving halftime shows on CBS and FOX respectively, I, and many friends, were anxious to see Lindsey Stirling light up Lambeau Field with her violin and dance repertoire. Do you have any insight to what NBC was thinking by letting Lindsey's millions of fans down by snubbing her performance? Shame on NBC. They owe an explanation and an apology for negating Lindsey in favor of an avalanche of commercials and a few-second token glimpse of a true talent.

Those are questions for NBC. Not Insider Inbox. She was fantastic, though. I very much enjoyed her performance.

Phillip from Wonder Lake, IL

Wouldn't t it be great to beat the Lions in Detroit?

They did it last year. Let's see if they can do it again. Have a great weekend everybody.
