Yes, it is Thanksgiving, not Groundhog Day, but we did see this same show just 18 days ago when the Bears and Lions got together at Soldier Field.
That one, of course, ended in a 20-13 Bears victory, moving head coach Matt Nagy’s record against Lions boss Matt Patricia to 3-0, but considering Lions starting QB and runaway team MVP Matthew Stafford was a surprise scratch just a few hours before kickoff, it was a lot closer than it should have been with Detroit possessing the football with a chance to tie or take the lead with under two minutes to play.
