Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears Game Ball: 5 candidates for Player of the Game

Sadly, the traditions of the Turkey Leg Award or the Galloping Gobbler or the All-Iron Award have mostly been scrapped. NBC still had Drew Brees eating a big turkey leg after thrashing the Falcons, but those traditions seem to have disappeared from the classic Lions and Cowboys games.

However, we’re here to keep the tradition alive. Okay, not really. We do this every week. We’re here to lay out five Lions Game Ball candidates from their Thanksgiving Day loss to the Bears. Your vote will decide the winner—with the top vote-getter receiving three points, second place tallies two points, and third place gets one.
