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.

Historically, it has been a struggle for Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. The Lions are 37-45-2 all time on the special day, including seven straight losses. Last Thanksgiving, Detroit hosted Green Bay in a 29-22 loss. The year before, Buffalo toppled Detroit 28-25 in a heart-racing affair.
