The Detroit Lions ended their Thanksgiving Day losing streak Thursday after defeating the Chicago Bears 23-20 in Ford Field.

The narrow victory was the first for the Lions since 2016 on "Turkey Day," as well as their tenth straight win this season.

Detroit dominated early in the game thanks to efficient offensive play and numerous third down conversions, while the Bears struggled and only managed two first downs in the first half. Thankfully for Bears fans, their defense stepped up to hold the Lions to one touchdown in the redzone in four trips and keep the scoreline 16-0.

In the second half, Chicago mounted a comeback thanks to some key adjustments and rhythm in the passing game. The Bears scored 20 points in the second half and had a chance to tie or win the game in the final moments; however, they were unable to manage the clock effectively and ran out of time to give the Lions the win.

Quarterback Jared Goff finished 21 of 34 for 221 yards and two touchdowns passing on connections with tight end Sam Laporta. Running back David Montgomery accumulated 88 rushing yards with Jahmyr added 87. Amon-Ra St. Brown led the Lions receiving with 73 yards on five catches.

The Lions move to 11-1 with their tenth straight win, while the Bears fall to 4-8 after suffering their sixth consecutive setback. Detroit will face Green Bay at Ford Field next Thursday at 8:15 P.M., where the Lions look for a season sweep over the Packers after the Week 9 win at Lambeau Field.
