Lions, Bears Face Off on Thanksgiving

The Chicago Bears will return to Thanksgiving football for the first time in three years, facing the Detroit Lions in a matchup marked by special jersey patches honoring NFL legend John Madden. The Bears, who have lost five straight games, aim to break their streak against a Lions team that has won nine consecutive games and leads the NFC North. This game marks the 20th Thanksgiving matchup between the two teams, with the Bears having historically performed well in recent years. Fans can expect a visually exciting game as the Lions will don their popular all-blue 'Blueberry' uniforms, a look they have not lost in since 2020. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, with a broader celebration of Madden's legacy taking place throughout the day.
