The Bears’ offense looked a lot better last week, including a big 17-3 rally in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough to take down the rival Vikings, who outlasted Chicago in overtime 30-27. Chicago will look to get back in the win column today with a Thanksgiving Day showdown with the rival Lions in Detroit.
The Lions enter Turkey Day riding a nine-game winning streak that has them at 10-1 on the season and in first place in the NFC. Detroit had another strong showing in Week 12, beating up the Colts 24-6 on the road.
Kickoff for Thursday’s game is called for 12:30 p.m. ET (9:30 a.m. PT) on CBS. Here’s how you can watch and stream all the action.
