Another hurdle comes in the way for the Detroit Lions this week. After overcoming their demons against the Seattle Seahawks, Dallas Cowboys, and Tennessee Titans, the annual Thanksgiving game is next. The Lions haven’t won on Thanksgiving since 2016 when they beat the Minnesota Vikings 16-13. This year, it’s another NFC North matchup, as the Lions host the Chicago Bears, who they lost to on Thanksgiving in 2021, 16-14.
The Bears come in holding onto a thread of playoff hopes. After starting 4-2, Chicago is on a five-game losing streak.
