Detroit Lions Host Bears on Thanksgiving Day

The Detroit Lions are set to host the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Day, marking their 85th annual Thanksgiving game. The Lions, currently on a nine-game winning streak and leading the NFC North with a 10-1 record, are eager to snap a seven-game losing streak on Thanksgiving, last winning in 2016. This year, the Lions will wear their 'Hawaiian Blue' uniforms instead of the anticipated throwback jerseys, a controversial decision given their historical significance and the team's struggles on Turkey Day. The game is particularly significant for Lions center Frank Ragnow, who expressed a desire to enjoy Thanksgiving with family rather than reflect on past losses. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:30 PM ET, with the Lions looking to clinch a playoff berth with a victory. The matchup not only highlights a traditional rivalry but also features Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, who has shown improvement in recent games.
