The Detroit Lions will host the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Day, per NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
The Lions won each of last season's meetings in Ben Johnson's first season at the helm of the Bears. Detroit routed Chicago in Week 2, 52-21, at Ford Field. Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 23-of-28 passes for 334 yards and five touchdowns in that Week 2 victory. Amon-Ra St. Brown reeled in nine grabs for 115 yards and three scores.
Then, in the regular-season finale, Jake Bates booted through a 42-yard field goal as time expired as the Lions downed the Bears, 19-16. The win in the Windy City secured a fourth straight winning season for Detroit.
Detroit last hosted the Bears on Thanksgiving in 2024, topping Chicago, 23-20, behind a pair of touchdown passes from Goff. At the time, it snapped a seven-game Thanksgiving Day losing streak and was part of an eventual 11 consecutive wins during the 2024 season en route to the NFC's No. 1 seed.
