The Chicago Bears will face their division rival, the Detroit Lions, on the road this Thanksgiving in the first of three scheduled NFL games

The Chicago Bears will face their division rival, the Detroit Lions, on the road this Thanksgiving in the first of three NFL games scheduled for Turkey Day 2024.

While Thanksgiving games count just as much as any other, winning or losing these games is a sure thing feels different. Football is synonymous with Thanksgiving, and putting on a winning performance on this big day is a very special feeling for fans.

So how have the Bears performed on Thanksgiving in the past?

Chicago Bears Thanksgiving Day record

Heading into this year’s game against the Lions, Chicago is 20-15-2 all-time on Thanksgiving.

In recent history, Chicago has won four straight times (three against the Lions and one against the Packers). Looking further afield, they are even 5-5 in their last 10 games. Most of the time, Chicago plays on Thanksgiving against the Lions, who play on Thanksgiving every year.

Chicago faces a 10-1 Super Bowl favorite team this year, so a win would be a major surprise. Chicago fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron a few weeks ago and its offense has come back to life. She went from 17.5 points per game under Waldron to 23.0 per game in the two games since.

Meanwhile, the Lions have an all-time losing record on Thanksgiving.
