Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy is breaking out of his slump on national television.
Lacy was recently demoted to backup status but the Packers' running back is beginning to regain Pro Bowl form, sprinting for a 25-yard receiving touchdown against the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving.

Lacy let go of the ball at the goal line as he began his celebration, leading to an official review that confirmed he held on to the ball just long enough for the touchdown to count.
With Lacy returning to top form, the Packers' offense is looking like a frightening force entering the home stretch of the season.
