Get your turkey and foam fingers ready, because the Detroit Lions are set to host the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving Day! According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, this classic NFC North showdown is officially on the menu for Thursday, November 26.

This matchup is packed with drama. The Lions dominated last season, sweeping the Bears in two memorable meetings. In Week 2 at Ford Field, Detroit routed Chicago 52-21, with quarterback Jared Goff putting on a clinic—completing 23 of 28 passes for 334 yards and five touchdowns. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was unstoppable, hauling in nine catches for 115 yards and three scores.

The regular-season finale was a different story—a nail-biter. With the game on the line, kicker Jake Bates drilled a 42-yard field goal as time expired, giving the Lions a 19-16 victory in Chicago. That win secured Detroit's fourth straight winning season.

Adding to the intrigue, this game marks the second time Ben Johnson will return to Ford Field as the Bears' head coach. Johnson, who previously served as Detroit's offensive coordinator, now leads a Chicago team that won the NFC North last season but went 0-2 against the Lions.

Thanksgiving has been kind to Detroit recently. When the Lions last hosted the Bears on the holiday in 2024, they snapped a seven-game Thanksgiving losing streak with a 23-20 win, powered by two Goff touchdown passes. That victory sparked an 11-game winning streak that propelled Detroit to the NFC's No. 1 seed.

As you gear up for the big game—whether you're cheering from the stands or your living room—make sure you're repping your Lions or Bears gear. After all, Thanksgiving football is all about family, food, and fierce rivalries.
