DETROIT -- With an 11-1 start, their best in team history, the Detroit Lions continue to end a laundry list of notable droughts.
The Lions, who defeated the Chicago Bears 23-20, had lost seven straight Thanks giving Day games, which was a point of emphasis throughout the week from head coach Dan Campbell.
The Lions dominated the opening half with 18 first downs compared to the Bears' two. Chicago's first first down came with 55 seconds left in the second quarter. The second half was a different story as the Bears stormed back only to fall short after a sack as time expired on the final drive of the game.
