The Bears head to Detroit on November 27 to face the Lions in a Thanksgiving Day showdown, looking to improve upon the franchise's 16-14-2 all-time record on the holiday.

One of the most noteworthy additions to the roster in 2014 is rookie punter Pat O'Donnell, who has earned the nickname Megapunt in training camp for his booming right leg.

The Bears offense are going to try to top the 52 TDs and 6,109 net yds they racked up a year ago, both of which set 16-game records in franchise history.

Among the new additions to the Bears roster is wide receiver Santonio Holmes, who was named the MVP of Super Bowl XLIII, when he caught the game-winning touchdown for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

With two interceptions this season, Bears cornerback Charles Tillman will have 38 in his prestigious career, which would tie Gary Fencik for the most in franchise history.

Coach Marc Trestman is back for his second season on the sideline, hoping to improve upon the 8-8 record he posted in his debut campaign.

After signing a seven-year contract extension in the offseason, there are high hopes for quarterback Jay Cutler, who is coming off a season where he completed 63.1 percent of his passes, his highest mark in five seasons with the Bears.

The Bears return all 11 offensive starters from last season's team, which ranked second in the NFL by averaging 27.8 points per game.

Led by first-round pick Kyle Fuller, the Bears defense has a group of talented rookies ready to make an immediate impact for the unit in 2014.

The additions of free agent pickups Jared Allen, Lamarr Houston and Willie Young, along with the drafting of Ego Ferguson and Will Sutton, should make the Bears defensive line a force to be reckoned with.
