Chicago (4-8) struggled out of the gate and didn't put up much of a fight during the first half. The Bears only managed to convert two first downs, both of which came on the final drive as Detroit (11-1) led 16-0 at halftime. Things turned around in the second half, though.

The Chicago Bears had first-and-10 on the Detroit Lions ' 25-yard line with 46 seconds to go Thursday, trailing 23–20. The Bears, with a timeout in their back pocket, lost the game in regulation without attempting a field goal or turning the ball over.

Welcome to the Thanksgiving edition of the Week 13 grades! Grab your family, grab some food and buckle up, because the NFL's best regular-season tradition is here: Thanksgiving football.  The Turkey Day action started with a wild game in Detroit where the Lions escaped with a 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears.
