The NFL on Thanksgiving Day starts with the Detroit Lions hosting the Chicago Bears live on Paramount+. The NFC North rivals are squaring off in their first of two head-to-heads of the season.
Sitting at 10-1, the Detroit Lions are the best team in the NFC and look to be the most complete team in football. They are roaring on an 8-game win streak, with their most recent victory coming last week in a 52-6 clawing of the Jaguars, which was the second time the Lions put up 52 points in a game this season. The Chicago Bears have had ups and downs this year, and are currently 4-7, and a 5-game losing streak. An upset against their division rivals could help turn their season around.
Enjoy food, family, and football during Lions vs. Bears, here’s how to watch.
