Mitchell Trubisky, Bears Hold off David Blough, Lions to Win on Thanksgiving Day

The Chicago Bears finished their season sweep of the Detroit Lions with a 24-20 victory at Ford Field on Thursday.

Mitchell Trubisky led the way for the Bears by throwing for 338 yards and three touchdowns.

Undrafted free agent David Blough made his first career NFL start for the Lions in place of the injured Matthew Stafford (back) and Jeff Driskel (hamstring). He threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns in a losing effort.

It marks Detroit's fifth consecutive loss and eighth in its last nine games. Also of note, the Lions have now lost three consecutive Thanksgiving Day games, including two straight to the Bears.
