After their brutal win over the Indianapolis Colts last Sunday, the Detroit Lions return to Ford Field for their traditional Thanksgiving home game.

The Chicago Bears come across Lake Michigan after an overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings. They are currently in last place in the NFC North at 4-7. A loss to Detroit would eliminate Chicago from playoff contention.
