Eric Seals / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images We’ve got live score updates, highlights and news from the Thanksgiving game between the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions. It’s a tradition unlike any other: the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. What has long been mocked for decades is now one of the most anticipated moments of the football week. The Lions are 10-1, holding first place in the NFC North, the NFC, and the NFL. It’s their best start since the 1934 season—the exact year that this Thanksgiving Day tradition began with the Lions. Overall, the Lions have appeared on 84 Thanksgiving Day game, holding an overall record of 37-45-2 in those contests. They have notoriously lost their last seven Thanksgiving Day contests, with their last victory coming in a thrilling comeback victory over the Minnesota Vikings in 2016. But this is a Lions team unlike any other. They have laid waste to nearly every opponent, and in convincing fashion. They have faced both good teams and bad, and have yet to fall for the “trap” game. The last two opponents they’ve faced with a losing record were the Jaguars and Titans, and they beat those two teams by a combined 84 points.So it’s understandable that the 4-7 Chicago Bears come to town as 9.5-point underdogs for the game. That said, there are some things working in Chicago’s favor this week. For one, quarterback Caleb Williams has strung together two strong performances after the Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. Additionally, the Lions have two key injuries. Left tackle Taylor Decker and No. 1 cornerback Carlton Davis are both officially out for this game, leaving Detroit vulnerable at two key positions. Will the Lions pass another test of adversity or will it be another disappointing Thanksgiving? We’ll be providing live updates from Ford Field. Simply start refreshing after the 12:30 p.m. ET kickoff, and watch as drive-by-drive analysis, highlights, scoring updates, and injury news filters in. See you all at kickoff and Happy Thanksgiving! First quarter The Detroit Lions won the coin toss and opted to receive. The opening drive got off to a promising start with a 10-yard run from David Montgomery. Detroit then converted a third-and-4 after Jared Goff found Jameson Williams after going through all of his progressions. After a 14-yard pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown, the Lions found themselves in another third down, and, again, Williams picked up the conversion down to Bears 24-yard line. Detroit then tried to get trick with a passing play designed to be thrown by Penei Sewell, but he wisely tucked it and took a 1-yard loss.

But on third-and-9 from the Bears’ 12-yard line, Goff couldn’t find Tim Patrick and the Lions settled for a 30-yard field goal. 3-0 Lions.
