The Detroit Lions shed their laughingstock label over the previous two seasons. They just missed the playoffs in the 2022 season and then nearly reached the first Super Bowl in franchise history last season, winning the NFC North and reaching the conference championship game before squandering a 17-point lead to lose to the San Francisco 49ers.

The Detroit Lions look to extend their win streak to 10 games on Thursday when they host the Chicago Bears in their annual Thanksgiving game at Ford Field.

Thanksgiving is always a special holiday for Detroit Lions fans. Our team perenially playing the early afternoon game slot is a wonderful tradition, even if the on-field product hasn’t always been appetizing.
