Top Storyline
With quarterback Mitchell Trubisky listed as doubtful on the injury report with a right shoulder injury he sustained last Sunday against the Vikings, backup Chase Daniel is expected to start Thursday in Detroit. Daniel has made just two starts in nine NFL seasons and attempted only 78 passes, completing 51 for 480 yards with one touchdown, one interception and an 81.1 passer rating.
Pass the football, and the gravy
The Bears will play on Thanksgiving for the first time since 2015 when they celebrated the holiday with a win over the Packers at Lambeau Field. Chicago was one of the original franchises to consistently play on Thanksgiving, playing on the holiday from 1920-1938. Today, the Lions and the Cowboys are the only two teams to play each Thanksgiving. The Bears are 8-8 against the Lions on Thanksgiving and are looking for their first win over Detroit since 1993. The early Thanksgiving kickoff also means it will be another nationally televised spotlight for the Bears. The Bears have played with a national audience three times already this year and will play five times total on national television including Thursday's game against Detroit and their Dec. 9 Sunday night showdown with the Rams.
History Lesson
The Bears are 98-74-5 all-time against the Lions. Ten of the last 13 meetings have been decided by single digits. The Bears won the last meeting two weeks ago at Soldier Field, 34-22.
