Bears' Thanksgiving Drama: Blame, Job Security, and Last-Second Heartbreak

The Detroit Lions narrowly defeated the Chicago Bears 23-20 in a Thanksgiving Day game marked by key performances from Lions players like Al-Quadin Muhammad and Za’Darius Smith, who both made crucial defensive plays in the final minutes. Despite injuries, the Lions' defense stepped up, while the Bears' late-game mistakes cost them a potential victory. Notable performances included DJ Reader's two sacks and Ezekiel Turner's impactful substitution. However, Josh Paschal's recurring injuries and Jake Bates' missed kick were seen as negatives for the Lions.
